A term neonate has a brief history of lethargy and poor feeding.
Upon examination, the neonate is noted to be pale, mottled and
diaphoretic. Palpation reveals strong pulses in the upper
extremities and diminished pulses in the lower extremities. The
following data are obtained: Axillary temperature: 36.6°C (97.8°F);
Heart rate: 176 b/p/m; Respiratory rate: 84 breaths per minute;
Capillary refill: 5 seconds; Urine output: 0.2 mL/kg/hour. A
diagnostic step that is useful is
a. assessing for the presence of diastolic murmur
b. drawing serial blood gases in room air and 100% oxygen
c. obtaining blood pressures in all four extremities - ✔✔✔ Correct
Answer > c. obtaining blood pressures in all four extremities
A neonate is born to a mother with a positive tuberculin test but
no signs of active disease. Management of this neonate should
include
a. initiate medication therapy on mother and infant

✔✔✔ Correct Answer > b. no special evaluation or therapy
When developing a plan for a preterm neonate to transition to
oral feedings, the nurse should consider that
a. breast feeding requires more energy than bottle feeding in
all infants
b. coordination of suck-swallow reflex and breathing is
developed by 34 weeks postconceptual age
c. vigorous non-nutritive sucking is a predictor for oral
feeding readiness - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > b. coordination of suck-
swallow reflex and breathing is developed by 34 weeks
postconceptual age

with 21% oxygen is initiated. After 30 seconds the neonate's heart
rate is 50. What is the next step in resuscitation of this neonate?
a. Administer epinephrine 0.1-0.3 ml/kg
b. Begin chest compressions
c. Increase oxygen to 50% - ✔✔✔ Correct Answer > b. Begin chest
compressions
