Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Moist lung sounds in this context are not indicative of an emergency situation requiring immediate notification of the pediatrician.
B. Moist lung sounds in a baby born by cesarean section are common and may be due to retained lung fluid, often resolving within the first 24 hours after birth. This is because the baby does not experience the same compression of the chest during delivery as a baby born vaginally, which helps to expel some of the fluid from the lungs.
C. Aspiration of surfactant is not a common or likely occurrence.
D. Moist lung sounds are not typically indicative of a pneumothorax, especially in the absence of other signs and symptoms.

A. Change the perineal pad of a client who just transferred from labor and delivery. B. Monitor vital signs during admission of a client who has gestational hypertension. C. Provide a sitz bath to a client who has a fourth-degree laceration and is 2 days postpartum. D. Observe an area of redness on the breast of a client who is 1 day postpartum.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Changing the perineal pad of a client who has just been transferred from the labor ward is a task that should not be delegated to an assistive personnel (AP) since it is beyond their scope.
B. Monitoring vital signs during the admission of a client with gestational hypertension requires nursing judgment and assessment skills.
C. Providing a sitz bath to a client with a fourth-degree laceration and is 2 days post- partum can be delegated to an AP. This task does not require the nurse's clinical judgment or assessment skills, and it can be safely performed by the AP following the nurse's instructions.
D. Observing an area of redness on the breast requires nursing assessment and intervention.
