Question: 846
The CRP is 8 mg/L. What does the IgM level indicate, and what infection control measure the nurse enforce?
rmal immunity; continue routine care ute infection; apply contact precautions
mited antibody production; enforce handwashing ternal antibody failure; limit visitation
er: C
nation: Undetectable IgM (<5 mg/dL) is normal, reflecting the infant�s inability to produce dies, increasing hepatitis C risk. Strict handwashing prevents pathogen spread, critical given ure immune system and potential exposure.

Explanation: In multiple gestations, Triplet C�s low weight (1,900 g) and high hematocrit (58%) suggest polycythemia, possibly from unequal placental sharing. IUGR is present but secondary, while RDS and hypoglycemia are less directly tied to these lab findings.
Question: 848
A term infant, now 48 hours old, born via emergency cesarean, is on nasal cannula at 1 L/min with an
FiO2 of 30%. The infant weighs 3.7 kg, and an ABG shows pH 7.42, PaCO2 36 mmHg, PaO2 68 mmHg, and HCO3 23 mEq/L. The SaO2 is 95%. What should the nurse do?
1. Switch to CPAP at 5 cm H2O with 30% FiO2
2. Increase FiO2 to 35%
3. Maintain current settings
4. Reduce flow to 0.5 L/min Answer: C
ndicate stability on nasal cannula. Maintaining settings is appropriate. Increasing FiO2 or ing to CPAP is unnecessary, and reducing flow risks hypoxemia.

/mm� (90% neutrophils), glucose 20 mg/dL, and protein 150 mg/dL. What is the most likely ying condition mimicking jitteriness?
pocalcemia bdural hematoma poglycemia ningitis
er: D
nation: Jittery movements and irritability with CSF pleocytosis (80 WBCs/mm�), low glucose
), and high protein (150 mg/dL) indicate meningitis, likely from prolonged rupture of memb serum glucose (55 mg/dL) rules out hypoglycemia, mild hypocalcemia (7.5 mg/dL) is unli his alone, and subdural hematoma would not explain the CSF findings.

blood pressure of 165/105 mmHg. Laboratory results show a platelet count of 85,000/mm�, AST 220 U/L, ALT 250 U/L, and LDH 950 U/L. The neonate is delivered emergently via cesarean section with an umbilical artery pH of 7.16, PCO2 60 mmHg, and base deficit -13 mEq/L. What maternal condition most likely contributed to the neonatal acidosis?
1. Placental abruption
2. HELLP syndrome
3. Chorioamnionitis
4. Cord prolapse
Answer: B
Explanation: The maternal symptoms (epigastric pain, hypertension) and labs (thrombocytopenia, elevated liver enzymes, high LDH) indicate HELLP syndrome, a severe preeclampsia variant. This condition causes placental insufficiency, leading to fetal hypoxia and acidosis (pH 7.16, base deficit -13 mEq/L). Placental abruption involves bleeding, chorioamnionitis requires infection signs, and cord prolapse causes variable decelerations, not this pattern.
Question: 851
year-old mother delivered a term infant 6 days ago and is taking fluoxetine 20 mg daily for rtum depression. The infant is exclusively breastfed, gaining 25 g/day, but exhibits irritabilit leep. Fluoxetine levels in breast milk are 50 ng/mL (therapeutic range: 20�100). What is the
edication effect on this infant?
strointestinal irritation from fluoxetine duced milk quality from maternal depression ug withdrawal from inconsistent exposure
otonin excess causing neurobehavioral changes er: D
nation: Irritability and poor sleep with fluoxetine levels of 50 ng/mL suggest serotonin excess ia breast milk, a known side effect of SSRIs. Milk quality, withdrawal, and GI irritation are
tent with the infant�s normal weight gain and exposure pattern.

4. Manual reduction and truss application Answer: C
Explanation: A reducible inguinal hernia in an asymptomatic neonate does not require emergent surgery but should be repaired electively within 1-2 months to prevent incarceration, a risk due to the patent processus vaginalis. Observation alone is insufficient, and trusses are not standard care. Timing balances risk and surgical readiness.
Question: 853
A 34-week preterm neonate presents with short limbs, a large head with frontal bossing, and a narrow thorax on X-ray. The neonate develops respiratory distress, and skeletal survey confirms rhizomelic shortening and metaphyseal flaring. Genetic testing reveals an FGFR3 mutation. What is the most likely diagnosis and its inheritance pattern?
1. Cystic fibrosis with autosomal recessive inheritance
2. Trisomy 21 with nondisjunction
3. Achondroplasia with autosomal dominant inheritance
er: C
nation: The short limbs, large head, narrow thorax, and FGFR3 mutation confirm achondropl osomal dominant skeletal dysplasia, often a new mutation. Trisomy 21 lacks skeletal finding ibrosis affects lungs and pancreas, and DiGeorge involves 22q11.2 deletion, not FGFR3.

preterm with respiratory distress term with hypothermia
er: A
nation: At 43 weeks with post-term features (cracked skin, long nails) and AGA measuremen is post-term. Seizures suggest perinatal asphyxia, a risk from placental dysfunction. Other do not align with gestation or symptoms.

A term infant, now 72 hours old, presents with lethargy and a glucose of 28 mg/dL (normal: >50). The infant weighs 3.5 kg, and the nurse starts D10W at 80 mL/kg/day via a peripheral IV. A metabolic panel shows sodium 134 mEq/L (normal: 135�145) and calcium 7.8 mg/dL (normal: 8.5�10.5). What should the nurse prioritize?
1. Monitor urine output for fluid balance
2. Increase dextrose to 12.5% in the IV fluid
3. Administer calcium gluconate 100 mg/kg IV
4. Request a sodium bolus to correct hyponatremia
Answer: C
Explanation: Hypocalcemia (7.8 mg/dL) with severe hypoglycemia (28 mg/dL) and lethargy requires urgent calcium correction to prevent complications like seizures. Glucose is addressed, urine monitoring is secondary, and mild hyponatremia (134 mEq/L) doesn�t need a bolus.

A 36-week gestation male neonate, now 7 days old, has a urine output of 0.6 mL/kg/hour and a serum sodium of 150 mEq/L. The neonate is on formula feeds and has no edema. Ultrasound shows normal kidneys. What is the most likely cause of this renal function alteration?
1. Diabetes insipidus
2. Dehydration
3. Syndrome of inappropriate ADH
4. Renal tubular acidosis Answer: B

nurse assesses the gag reflex in a 2-day-old neonate with a PaCO2 of 55 mmHg and HCO3 of 2 The reflex is present but weak. What is the most likely cause?
nial nerve damage
rmal variation in reflex strength tabolic alkalosis enhancing the reflex spiratory acidosis weakening the reflex
er: D
nation: PaCO2 55 mmHg and HCO3 28 mEq/L indicate respiratory acidosis with partial nsation, which can cause lethargy and weaken reflexes like the gag. Option B is incorrect as ag is not typical.

rease ambient light for distraction
Explanation: Low urine output with hypernatremia and normal kidneys suggest dehydration, likely from inadequate fluid intake or losses, common in preterms transitioning to feeds. Diabetes insipidus causes dilute urine, SIADH causes hyponatremia, and renal tubular acidosis involves acidosis, none aligning with this presentation.

4. Delay the puncture for 30 minutes Answer: C
Explanation: A score of 3 with tachycardia (165 bpm) indicates mild pain despite sucrose. Swaddling enhances comfort and reduces stress, complementing sucrose. Cold packs numb but don�t soothe, light increases distress, and delay doesn�t address immediate pain.
Question: 861

1. Retained Plastibell ring
2. Necrosis from tight ring
3. Wound infection
er: B
nation: Delayed ring detachment with swelling and grayish discoloration suggest necrosis fro lastibell ring compromising blood flow, requiring urgent removal. Infection involves fever, d ring alone doesn�t cause discoloration, and adhesions form later, none matching this ische

Question: 863
During a neurological exam, a nurse strokes the sole of a 3-day-old neonate�s foot from heel to toe in an inverted �J� pattern. The big toe dorsiflexes, and the other toes fan outward bilaterally. The neonate�s serum ionized calcium is 4.0 mg/dL (normal: 4.4-5.2 mg/dL), and magnesium is 1.8 mg/dL. How should the nurse interpret this Babinski reflex finding?
1. Abnormal response indicating upper motor neuron dysfunction
2. Hypocalcemia-induced exaggeration of the reflex
3. Normal finding for a neonate of this age
4. Potential spinal cord injury requiring imaging Answer: C
Explanation: A positive Babinski reflex (dorsiflexion of the big toe with fanning of others) is normal in neonates up to 12-24 months due to immature corticospinal tracts. The slightly low ionized calcium (4.0 mg/dL) may cause neuromuscular irritability, but it does not alter the Babinski reflex�s expected presence in a 3-day-old.
year-old mother delivered a term infant 6 days ago and is supplementing breastfeeding with formula due to perceived low supply. The infant�s weight gain is 25 g/day, and the mother asks ab
sition of formula compared to breast milk. Lab results show infant iron at 55 �g/dL (normal hat should the nurse explain?
mula lacks antibodies found in breast milk mula has higher iron to prevent anemia mula contains more fat than breast milk mula is lower in carbohydrates
er: B
nation: Low iron (55 �g/dL) and normal weight gain (25 g/day) highlight a nutritional gap. F fied with higher iron than breast milk to prevent anemia, a key compositional difference. odies, fat, and carbs vary, but iron is most relevant here.

Cerebral palsy is a long-term outcome, not an immediate complication. Respiratory distress and seizures may occur but are secondary to HIE.
Question: 866
A term infant, now 72 hours old, is being treated for suspected neonatal sepsis with intravenous gentamicin. The ordered dose is 4 mg/kg every 24 hours, and the infant weighs 3.2 kg. The nurse administers 12.8 mg at 0800, but a trough level drawn at 0700 the next day is 2.5 �g/mL (therapeutic: 0.5�2 �g/mL; toxic: >2 �g/mL). What pharmacokinetic principle should guide the nurse�s next action?
