When observing a drug-exposed newborn, what symptom suggests that the newborn may be exhibiting withdrawal symptoms?

Choice A reason:

Swimming is one of the best and safest exercises for pregnant women. It exercises your large muscle groups, provides cardiovascular benefits, reduces swelling, and allows you to feel weightless. Swimming is also a low-impact exercise that does not put too much stress on your joints and muscles. Therefore, this statement does not indicate a need for additional teaching.

Choice B reason:

Racquetball is not an appropriate exercise during pregnancy. It is a high-impact sport that involves sudden changes of direction, quick movements, and the risk of falling or getting hit by the ball or the racquet. These factors can increase the chance of injury, bleeding, or premature labor. Therefore, this statement indicates a need for additional teaching.

Choice C reason:

Cycling on a stationary bike is a safe exercise during pregnancy. It provides moderate aerobic conditioning and relieves stress and tension in your joints and muscles. Cycling on a stationary bike also reduces the risk of falling or losing balance compared to cycling on a regular bike. Therefore, this statement does not indicate a need for additional teaching.

Choice D reason:

Yoga is a beneficial exercise during pregnancy. It can help you relax, improve your flexibility, strengthen your muscles, and prepare your body for labor and delivery. Yoga can also help you cope with symptoms of depression and anxiety during pregnancy. However, you should avoid hot yoga or poses that involve lying flat on your back, twisting your abdomen, or compressing your belly. Therefore, this statement does not indicate a need for additional teaching.

Choice A reason:

This is incorrect because TTN usually resolves within 24 to 72 hours of birth and does not require a long stay in the NICU.

Choice B reason:

This is correct because TTN is more common in babies born by cesarean section without labor, as they do not have the hormonal changes that help clear the fetal lung fluid.

Choice C reason:

This is incorrect because breastfeeding is not contraindicated in babies with TTN, unless they have severe respiratory distress or need continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) support.

Choice D reason:

This is incorrect because TTN does not cause chronic lung disease or require oxygen therapy at home. Most babies with TTN only need supplemental oxygen for a few days until their breathing improves.
