As part of the respiratory assessment, the nurse observes the neonate's nares for patency and mucus. Which of the following is the reason that the nurse employs this assessment?
参考答案: A
参考解析: Neonates are obligate nose breathers and have no ability to breathe through their mouths. Therefore, blocked nares contribute to respiratory distress in the neonate. Nasal patency is unnecessary for neonate feeding. Nasal flaring may indicate respiratory distress. A deviated septum doesn't cause significant breathing difficulties.
