A newborn delivered at 36 weeks gestation appears pale with decreased muscle tone. The heart rate is 90 bpm, respiratory effort is weak with irregular breathing, and the infant shows minimal response to stimulation. What is the nurse's immediate priority action?
1Administer supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula
2Begin positive pressure ventilation with bag-mask device✓ 정답
3Perform chest compressions at a rate of 120 per minute
4Suction the mouth and nose with a bulb syringe
해설
Weak respiratory effort and bradycardia (HR 80) indicate respiratory depression, making PPV the priority to improve oxygenation. Other options (oxygen, compressions, suction) do not address inadequate ventilation as effectively.
