Increased upper airway resistance and decreased airflow into the lungs in neonates (0 to 4 weeks of age) can result from:
A) Frequent crying
B) Sleeping supine
C) Nasal congestion
D) Productive coughing
Ans: C
Feedback:
The neonate (0 to 4 weeks of age) breathes predominantly through the nose and does not adapt well to mouth breathing. Any obstruction of the nose or nasopharynx may increase upper airway resistance and increase the work of breathing. While sleeping, the neonate's face should remain away from any surface or cloth in order to maintain an open nasal airway.
