Answer to Question 1

C
Normal values for a newborn are heart rate (HR) 110 to 160 beats/min and respiratory rate 30 to 60 breaths/min.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A When labor begins, poor oxygen reserves may cause fetal compromise. The fetus
may passed meconium as a result of hypoxia before or during labor increasing
the risk of meconium aspiration.
B Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious inflammatory condition of the
intestinal tract that may lead to death of areas of the mucosa of the intestines.
SGA infants are at increased risk for NEC.
C If placental insufficiency is present, decreased amniotic fluid volume and
umbilical cord compression is likely to occur. This resulted in both hypoxia and
malnourishment of the fetus.
D Postterm infants should be assessed for hypoglycemia because of the rapid use of
glycogen stores.
