Ati nurs 225 maternal newborn proctored exam
A newborn with opioid exposure is evaluated using the Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) model. The infant is able to breastfeed, sleeps for 90 minutes, and can be consoled in 8 minutes with skin-to-skin contact. Which conclusion is correct?
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: A. The infant meets the ESC model criteria for effective feeding, adequate sleep, and consolability, indicating that non-pharmacologic interventions such as breastfeeding, skin-to-skin contact, and comfort measures are sufficient at this time. B. Immediate pharmacologic therapy is not indicated because the infant is feeding well, sleeping appropriately, and consolable within a reasonable timeframe. C. Severe NAS requiring NICU admission would present with poor feeding, frequent inconsolable crying, and inability to sleep, which is not observed here. D. Limiting parent-infant interaction contradicts best practice; supportive interaction helps manage withdrawal symptoms and promotes bonding and stabilization.
