Answer to Question 1
ANS: C
The most extreme physiologic change occurs when the newborn leaves the in utero circulation and develops independent respiratory functioning. Direct nursing care includes maintaining an open airway, stabilizing and maintaining body temperature, and protecting the newborn from infection. After immediate physical evaluation and application of identification bracelets, the nurse promotes the parents' and newborn's need for close physical contact. Following a comprehensive physical assessment, the nurse assesses gestational age and interactions between infant and parents.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: B
Prevention of infection is a major concern in the care of the newborn. Good handwashing technique is the most important factor in protecting the newborn from infection. The umbilical stump should be kept clean and dry. Newborns are susceptible to heat loss and cold stress. Place the new born directly on the mother's abdomen, and cover him or her in warm blankets, making sure to keep the head well covered, or placed unclothed in an infant warmer with a temperature probe in place. Removal of nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal secretions remains a priority of care to maintain a patent airway.
