Correct All of these conditions are related to immaturity and warrant close
observation. After discharge the infant is at risk for rehospitalization
related to these problems. AWHONN has recently launched the
Near-Term Infant Initiative to study the problem and ways to ensure that
these infants receive adequate care. The nurse should ensure that this
infant is feeding adequately before discharge and that parents are taught
the signs and symptoms of these complications.
Incorrect These infants are at risk for respiratory distress and hypoglycemia.
