A. The nurse should immediately notify the pediatrician for this emergency situation B. The lungs of a baby delivered by cesarean section may sound moist during the first 24 hours after childbirth C. The neonate must have aspirated surfactant D. If this baby was born vaginally, then a pneumothorax could be indicated

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.
