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 stimulation, and appears pink with blue hands and feet. What is the most appropriate initial nursing intervention?
1Immediately begin chest compressions and call for emergency assistance
2Administer supplemental oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 L/min
3Place the newborn under a radiant warmer and monitor vital signs
4Provide tactile stimulation and position for optimal airway clearance✓ 정답
해설
Apgar score of 6 indicates mild depression requiring tactile stimulation and positioning to improve respiratory effort. Other options (chest compressions, oxygen, radiant warmer) are too aggressive or not the initial priority.
