9. 8. A baby girl delivered at 38 weeks’ gestation weighs 2,325 g and is having difficulty maintaining body temperatureWhich nursing action would best prevent cold stress? 1. Immediately after birth, dry the neonate and place her under a radiant warmer for 2 hours. 2. Administer oxygen for the first 30 minutes after birth 3. Decrease integumentary stimulation after birth 4. Maintain the environmental temperature at a constant level 1

10. 9. A nurse is caring for a drug-dependent neonate. Which intervention should the nurse perform? 1. Limit sensory stimulation of the neonate. 2. Cluster activities. 3. Wrap the neonate loosely in blankets. 4. Increase environmental stimuli 1

17. 1. Hypothermia related to heat loss 2. Impaired parenting related to the addition of a new family member 3. Risk for deficient fluid volume related to insensible fluid losses 4. Risk for infection related to transition to the extra uterine environment 1
