blisters if the burn was caused by scalding and the client can feel pressure when
applied.
Superficial burns are red and painful with no blistering.
Full-thickness burns show no blanching, no pain, and a white or charred
appearance.
Superficial partial-thickness burns show red, painful blisters and will blanch with
pressure.

The nurse observes a newborn become cyanotic when feeding. What procedure
will the nurse perform as prescribed to assess for a tracheoesophageal fistula
(TEF)?
1. Feed the newborn with smaller, frequent feedings
2. Attempt to pass a nasogastric tube (NG tube)
3. Check for simian creases on the palms of the hands
4. Administer a saline lavage
2. Attempt to pass a nasogastric tube (NG tube)
Rationale: This is a simple test to see if the infant turns blue with the insertion
of the tube. If it does, it is highly indicative of a TEF.
The mother of a newborn diagnosed with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) asks the
nurse about the condition. Which statement is correct in educating this mother
about TEF?
1. "This was caused because of you not taking enough folic acid in the first
trimester of your pregnancy."
2. "Your child will most likely be prone to frequent fractures of the extremities."
3. "Your child will need to be on antibiotics of invasive procedures
prophylactically."
4. "Your baby should be able to start tube feedings in 2-3 days after the surgical
repair."
4. "Your baby should be able to start tube feedings in 2-3 days after the surgical
repair."
Rationale: A baby can eat via NG 2-3 days after surgical repair of TEF.
