A nurse in the emergency department is assessing a newly-admitted infant. Which of the following findings is an early indication of hypoxemia?

Choice A reason: Suggesting that a hospital representative attend the funeral is not typically within the scope of the nurse's role and may not be appropriate in all situations.

Choice B reason: Developing a professional support system can help nurses cope with the emotional demands of caring for dying children and prevent burnout.

Choice C reason: Demonstrating feelings of sympathy toward the family can provide comfort and support during a difficult time, which is an important aspect of nursing care.

Choice D reason: Taking time off from work can help nurses manage stress and grief, allowing them to maintain their well-being and professional effectiveness.

Choice E reason: Remaining in contact with the family after their loss can provide ongoing support and is a compassionate gesture that can help families cope with their grief.

Choice A reason: Hyperactivity is not typically associated with chronic renal failure in children. Instead, children may experience fatigue and lethargy due to anemia and the overall decreased function of the kidneys.

Choice B reason: Weight gain can occur in chronic renal failure due to fluid retention; however, it is not as characteristic as delayed growth, which is a direct result of the disease's impact on the child's development.

Choice C reason: Delayed growth is a common finding in children with chronic renal failure due to various factors, including metabolic imbalances, bone disorders, and malnutrition, all of which can impede normal growth.

Choice D reason: A flushed face is not a typical finding in chronic renal failure. More common are signs related to fluid overload, such as swelling around the eyes, feet, and ankles, and symptoms of uremia like pallor.
