Immediately after birth, a preterm infant is placed in a radiant heat warmer. For which nursing diagnosis is this intervention addressing?
A) Ineffective thermoregulation related to immaturity
B) Risk for imbalanced nutrition, less than body requirements
C) Risk for deficient fluid volume related to insensible water loss
D) Impaired gas exchange related to immature pulmonary functioning
A
Feedback:
Placing the preterm infant in a radiant heat warmer is addressing the diagnosis of ineffective thermoregulation related to immaturity. Interventions regarding intake would be appropriate for the diagnosis of risk for imbalanced nutrition. Interventions related to intravenous fluids would be appropriate for the diagnosis of risk for deficient fluid volume. Interventions related to oxygenation would be appropriate for the diagnosis of impaired gas exchange.
