    ATI PN Nursing Care of Children 2020 with NGN II Proctored Exam

    A nurse is assisting with the plan of care for an infant who has heart failure. Which of the following actions should the nurse recommend to include in the plan of care?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Administering digoxin should be based on the infant's specific heart rate and the healthcare provider's prescription, rather than a specific pulse value. Choice B reason: Allowing for frequent rest periods is important for an infant with heart failure, as it helps conserve energy and reduce cardiac workload. Choice C reason: Feeding duration should be based on the infant's tolerance and ability to feed effectively, rather than a specific time frame. Choice D reason: Maintaining the infant in a supine position can help with respiratory function but should be balanced with appropriate positioning to prevent aspiration and promote comfort. It is not the sole action to include in the plan of care.
