A nurse is providing teaching about car seat safety to the parent of a term newborn. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Apply oxygen at 3 L/min per nasal cannula: While oxygenation is important, there is no

indication in the scenario that the client requires oxygen supplementation at this time. Checking oxygen saturation would be more relevant if there were respiratory concerns.

B. Review the chest x-ray report: This is the most appropriate action before initiating the IV

infusion to ensure proper placement of the central venous catheter and absence of complications such as pneumothorax or malposition.

C. Flush the catheter with sterile water: Flushing the catheter with sterile water is not necessary before starting the infusion, especially without confirming proper catheter placement through chest x-ray.

D. Obtain a peripheral blood glucose level: While monitoring blood glucose levels may be

important in certain clinical situations, it is not directly relevant to initiating an IV infusion of Ringer's lactate via a central venous catheter.

A. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker used to treat hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions.

While it may be important for the provider to be aware of all medications, it is not the priority to report in this scenario.

B. Clopidogrel is an antiplatelet medication used to prevent blood clots in individuals at risk for cardiovascular events. While it may have implications for the procedure, it is not the priority to report in this scenario.

C. Metformin is an oral antidiabetic medication commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is

important to report because there may be specific considerations regarding its use in the context of a colonoscopy, such as the risk of lactic acidosis.

D. Digoxin is a medication used to treat heart failure and certain arrhythmias. While it may have implications for the procedure, it is not the priority to report in this scenario.
