For resuscitation use 100 % - the kids hypoxic or you wouldn't be doing a resuscitation.

What precautions should you take when working with a high concentration of oxygen?
We should resist ignitions.
What statement best describes the best practice when using a pulse oximeter?
The combination of an appropriately placed oximeter and I knowledge of minute by minute normal oxygen targets should guide resuscitation.
Where should the late preterm infant be monitored after birth?
preterm infants are monitored in a neonatal intensive care unit where they are put in incubators which cater for their need.the modern incubators cater for,oxygen,intravenous infusion treatment and warmth.They have special gadgets that help in maintaining the conditions as required. In developing countries where there are no electricity,the preterm are put in kangaroo care(skin to skin contact)with the mother and encouraged to breastfeed to minimize infection through improving the infants immunity system.
What concentration of oxygen should be used In Resuscitation?
There are two main concerns when using oxygen on new born babies. One is oxygen toxicity, the other is meeting the babies oxygen requirements. On one hand, oxygen can actually be toxic, especially to pre-term babies from 32 weeks gestation and lower. High FiO2's(fraction of inspired oxygen) may even cause blindness (ROP), and Intracerebral bleeds (ICH). Secondly, the baby must have sufficient O2 to meets its bodies demands. I told you this so you know there is a difference in term newborn, and pre-term, oxygenation requirements. So, the simple answer to a complicated scenario is, apply the minimum FiO2 that will address the babies requirements. This is called oxygen titration.
What feeding practices is recommended for preterm infants?
The feeding practice of on-demand feeding is recommended for preterm infants. Either breast milk or formula should be fed when the baby seems hungry.
What is the nursing diagnosis for preterm infants with oxygen hood?
You will need to get a New York Broker's lencise and a Florida Broker's lencise to practice in those states. You should easily be able to find the requirements for each with a google search.
When should cardiopulmonary resuscitation be done?
USE CPR ON AN ADULT WHEN THEY ARE UNRESPONSIVE; ON A CHILD AND INFANT USE CPR WHEN THERE IS NO PULSE.
Will the dissolved oxygen in the water be absorbed during digestion?
Dissolved Oxygen can diffused through the membrane in digestion system by concentration gradient however the amount absorbed should be minimal or negligible.
Proper o2 flow for a non-rebreather mask?
A nonrebreather mask (NRB) should have an oxygen flow rate of at least 10 liters per minute in order to deliver the maximum oxygen concentration.
Why has your doctor put you on steroids you are pregnant with twins?
ASk him/her. Steroids are used to mature the baby's lungs if there is a risk of preterm delivery, but twions are not usually that much at risk, and the latest research suggests that only one course should be given if there is actual preterm labor.
