A newborn delivered at 38 weeks gestation is brought to the nursery. The nurse notes the infant has a heart rate of 110 bpm, weak cry, some flexion of extremities, grimaces to suction, and pink body with blue hands and feet. What is the nurse's priority action?
1Document the findings and continue routine newborn care
2Place the infant under a radiant warmer and monitor vital signs
3Begin positive pressure ventilation with bag-mask ventilation✓ 정답
4Administer supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula
해설
The newborn's weak cry, bradycardia, and poor tone indicate respiratory depression requiring immediate positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Other options (documenting, warming, oxygen) are insufficient for inadequate ventilation.
