The nurse caring for a newborn on a ventilator for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) informs the parents that the newborn is improving
Which data supports the nurse's assessment of the newborn's condition?
A) Increased PCO2
B) Oxygen saturation of 92%
C) Pulmonary vascular resistance increases
D) Less than 1 mL/kg/hour urine output
Answer: B
An expected outcome for a client being treated for ARDS is maintaining an oxygen saturation of greater than 90%. The newborn diagnosed with ARDS with an oxygen saturation of 92% is improving. Increased PCO2 and pulmonary vascular resistance are indicative of continued distress. Urine output of less than 1 mL/kg/hour is an abnormal finding and does not support that the newborn is improving.
