A nurse is assessing a neonate. The assessment that might indicate that the neonate's respiratory status is worsening is:
 
  1. Acrocyanosis.
   2. Arterial CO2 of 40.
   3. Periorbital edema.
   4. Grunting respirations with nasal flaring.

Rationale:
1. Acrocyanosis (cyanosis of the extremities) is a normal finding in a neonate.
2. CO2 of 40 is within normal range.
3. Periorbital edema does not necessarily mean deterioration in respiratory status.
4. Grunting respirations with nasal flaring indicate respiratory status is becoming worse.
