A nurse is creating a plan of care for a newborn who is breastfed and appears jaundiced.

Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?

Place the newborn under a radiant warmer.

Supplement breastfeeding with iron-fortified formula.

Determine the effectiveness of breastfeeding.

Administer Rho(D) immune globin to the newborn.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale:

Placing the newborn under a radiant warmer is not directly related to addressing breastfeeding-related jaundice.

Choice B rationale:

Supplementing breastfeeding with formula is not the first-line approach and may interfere with establishing successful breastfeeding.

Choice C rationale:

Breastfeeding-related jaundice can occur if the newborn is not effectively breastfeeding and not getting enough milk. Assessing the effectiveness of breastfeeding is important to address the underlying cause of jaundice.

Choice D rationale:

Administering Rho(D) immune globulin is unrelated to addressing jaundice in a breastfed newborn.

Correct Answer is A

Methylergonovine is used to prevent or control postpartum hemorrhage and is not typically used for preterm labor.

Choice C rationale:

Calcium gluconate is used to treat magnesium sulfate toxicity and is not typically used for preterm labor.

Choice D rationale:

A. "I should expect to have up to 12 treatments." B. "I should expect this treatment to cure my illness." C. "I will receive an antianxiety medication during the treatments." D. "I will wake up 2 hours after the treatment."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is typically administered as a series of treatments, often ranging from 6 to 12 sessions, to achieve optimal therapeutic effects.

Choice B rationale:

ECT can provide relief from severe depressive symptoms, but it is not necessarily considered a "cure" for depression.

Choice C rationale:

ECT is not usually accompanied by antianxiety medication during the treatments.

Choice D rationale:

Recovery from ECT typically occurs within minutes after the treatment, not after 2 hours.
