Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Sedative-hypnotic drugs, such as secobarbital, can cause neonatal respiratory depression, hypotonia, and a poor sucking response up to 4 days. Butorphanol tartrate, fentanyl, and nalbuphine do not have prolonged effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Narcotic analgesics cause respiratory depression in the infant if given shortly before delivery. The nurse should monitor the infant closely and prepare to give naloxone (Narcan) if this occurs. Opioid withdrawal occurs with prolonged exposure to opioids. Orthostatic hypotension and tachycardia are not common effects.
