The primary side effect of maternal narcotic analgesia in the newborn is:
a. Respiratory depression.
b. Bradycardia.
c. Acrocyanosis.
d. Tachypnea.
A
An infant delivered within 1 to 4 hours of maternal analgesic administration is at risk for res-piratory depression from the sedative effects of the narcotic.
Bradycardia is not the anticipated side effect of maternal analgesics.
Acrocyanosis is an expected finding in a newborn and is not related to maternal analgesics.
The infant that is having a side effect to maternal analgesics normally would have a decrease in respirations, not an increase.
