  Feedback
1 Anoxia is the term the nurse should use when communicating that no oxygen is reaching the cells during gas exchange.
2 Hypoxia, not anoxia, is the term the nurse should use when communicating that insufficient oxygen is reaching the cells during gas exchange.
3 Asphyxia, not anoxia, is the term the nurse should use to describe a condition arising when the body is deprived of oxygen, causing unconsciousness or death.
4 Hypercapnia, not anoxia, is the term the nurse should use to describe a blood gas carbon dioxide level greater than 45 mm Hg.

  1. ANS:  2

Chapter number and title: 19: Newborn at Risk: Birth-Related Stressors

Chapter learning objective: Identify possible causes of birth asphyxia.

Chapter page reference: 269-270

Heading: Care of the Newborn at Risk Because of Birth Asphyxia

Integrated processes: Clinical Problem-Solving Process

Client need: Reduction of Risk Potential

Cognitive level: Application [Applying]

Concept: Assessment; Oxygenation

Difficulty: Moderate

 

  Feedback
1 Fetal, not maternal, anemia is a risk factor for birth asphyxia.
2 Maternal hypotension and hypertension are both risk factors for birth asphyxia.
3 A prolonged, not a precipitous, labor is a risk factor for birth asphyxia.
4 Too little, not too much, oxygen during childbirth is a risk factor for birth asphyxia.

  1. ANS:  4

Chapter number and title: 19: Newborn at Risk: Birth-Related Stressors

Chapter learning objective: Discuss the risk factors for respiratory distress syndrome.

Chapter page reference: 270

Heading: Care of the Newborn With Respiratory Distress

Integrated processes: Clinical Problem-Solving Process

Client need: Physiological Adaptation

Cognitive level: Application [Applying]

Concept: Assessment; Oxygenation

Difficulty: Moderate

 

  Feedback
1 A preterm, not a postterm, birth is a risk factor for RDS that necessitates close monitoring by the nurse.
2 A prolonged, not a precipitous, birth is a risk factor for RDS that necessitates close monitoring by the nurse.
3 Hyperbilirubinemia is not a risk factor associated with the development of RDS.
4 Meconium aspiration is a risk factor associated with the development of RDS that necessitates close monitoring by the nurse.

 

 

PTS:   1                    CON:  Assessment | Oxygenation

 

  1. ANS:  4

Chapter number and title: 19: Newborn at Risk: Birth-Related Stressors

Chapter learning objective: Recognize signs of respiratory distress.

Chapter page reference: 271

Heading: Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Integrated processes: Clinical Problem-Solving Process

Client need: Physiological Adaptation

Cognitive level: Application [Applying]

Concept: Collaboration; Oxygenation

Difficulty: Moderate

 

  Feedback
1 Eupnea, or normal breathing, does not require the LPN to notify the RN when providing care to a newborn.
2 Acrocyanosis does not require the LPN to notify the RN when providing care to a newborn. Central cyanosis does indicate the need for immediate notification.
3 Crying during a blood draw is an expected finding; therefore, it does not require the LPN to notify the RN when providing care to a newborn.
4 Grunting with expirations is a clinical manifestation associated with RDS; therefore, the LPN should notify the RN immediately.
