➡️ Question:
A premature newborn infant with an Apgar score of 3 is showing signs of hypoxemia, grunting, and intercostal retractions. Which of the following would you recommend?
A. Suction the neonate
B. Nebulize albuterol
C. Provide supplemental oxygen
D. Instill surfactant into the airway

➡️ Rationale Explanation:
This infant is showing signs of severe respiratory distress and an extremely low Apgar score of 3 tells us that the neonate most likely has Infant Respiratory Distress Syndrome (IRDS). In order to improve the infant’s condition, you need to administer exogenous surfactant which can be instilled directly into the airway. There are no indications for suctioning or albuterol are not indicated at this time. And although supplemental oxygen may help with the infant’s hypoxemia, more extensive measures are needed in this case, so we can rule that one out as well.
