Normal RR for pediatrics child - CORRECT ANSWER RR: 30-60 per min
Nursing considerations when feeding a child with tachypnea - CORRECT
ANSWER Normal RR: 30-60 per min
Considerations:
-Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a term for a mild respiratory problem of babies
that begins after birth and lasts about three days.
-Other terms for TTN are "wet lungs" or type II respiratory distress syndrome.
--Transient means temporary
--Tachypnea means fast breathing rate
Transient tachypnea of the newborn treatment - CORRECT ANSWER Treatment may
include:
-Supplemental oxygen given by mask on the baby's face or by placing the baby under an
oxygen hood
-Blood tests (to measure blood oxygen levels)
-Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) - a mechanical breathing machine that pushes a
continuous flow of air or oxygen to the airways to help keep tiny air passages in the lungs
open.
---Tube feedings may also be necessary if the baby's breathing rate is too high, because of the
risk of aspiration of the food.
---Once TTN goes away, the baby usually recovers quickly and has no increased risk for
additional respiratory problems.
Transitory tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is thought to occur as a result of: - CORRECT
ANSWER . Delayed absorption of fetal lung fluid.

, newborn's condition? Select all that apply. - CORRECT ANSWER "Having a
caesarean section increased the risk of transient tachypnea of the newborn."
-Due to the extra squeezing's during the C-section, the babies are most at risk for TTN
"The healthcare provider will need chest X-rays to monitor respiratory distress."
-Amniotic fluids are trapped in the lungs causing TTN
-Delayed absorption of fetal lung fluid into the body
Benefits of breast milk - CORRECT ANSWER -species specific for human
newborns/infants
-protects against infection (antibodies passed over from the mother)
