A nurse is assessing a newborn 1 hour after birth.
The nurse recognizes that which of the following respiratory rates is within the expected reference range for a newborn?

Choice A rationale

The statement about shock waves refers to a different procedure called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which is used to break up kidney stones and gallstones. It is not related to an oral cholangiogram.

Choice B rationale

An oral cholangiogram does not involve inserting a camera down the throat. This statement seems to refer to an endoscopic procedure, which is different from an oral cholangiogram.

Choice C rationale

This statement is correct. An oral cholangiogram is an X-ray examination of the gallbladder and bile ducts. The patient takes an oral medication that makes these structures more visible on the X-ray.

Choice D rationale

This statement is incorrect. An oral cholangiogram does not involve putting medication into the gallbladder to dissolve stones. This seems to refer to a different treatment approach.

Choice A rationale

The rubella vaccine is a live vaccine, which means it contains a weakened version of the virus. Because the virus is still active, live vaccines are not safe for pregnant people. There is a small chance they may pass the virus to the baby. Therefore, it is recommended that adults of childbearing age should avoid getting pregnant for at least four weeks after receiving the MMR vaccine. This is to ensure the safety of both the mother and the baby.

Choice B rationale

This statement is incorrect. The rubella vaccine does not require additional shots after each baby with Rh-positive blood. The rubella vaccine is typically administered in childhood and provides long-term protection.

Choice C rationale

This statement is also incorrect. The rubella vaccine does not require additional shots in 1 month and again in 6 months. The vaccine provides long-term protection and does not typically require frequent boosters.

Choice D rationale

While it’s true that some vaccines can cause side effects such as fever and vomiting, these are not common side effects of the rubella vaccine. Therefore, this statement is not entirely accurate.
