A newborn delivered at 41 weeks gestation has thick meconium-stained amniotic fluid noted at delivery. The infant is born with poor muscle tone, weak cry, and heart rate of 80 bpm. What is the most appropriate immediate nursing intervention?
1Perform immediate oral and nasal suctioning with a bulb syringe
2Prepare for endotracheal intubation and tracheal suctioning✓ 정답
3Administer supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula
4Begin chest compressions immediately
해설
Endotracheal intubation and tracheal suctioning are indicated for non-vigorous newborns with meconium-stained fluid to clear the airway before breathing. Other options are less appropriate: bulb suctioning is for vigorous newborns, oxygen alone insufficient, and chest compressions not yet needed with HR 80 bpm.
