Ati pn paediatrics nursing 2023 proctored exam
A nurse is caring for a 2-month-old infant. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Explanation & Rationale
A. A blood pressure of 95/58 mm Hg can be within an acceptable range for an infant and is not typically a cause for concern in a 2-month-old. B. A respiratory rate of 18/min is abnormally low for a 2-month-old infant. Infants normally have a respiratory rate of about 30–60/min, and a low rate may indicate respiratory depression or other serious issues that should be reported promptly. C. A temperature of 37.4° C (99.3°F) is within the expected range for an infant and does not indicate fever. D. A heart rate of 160/min is within the normal range for a young infant, especially when awake or active.
