Question

The nurse is caring for an infant with Down syndrome who has been diagnosed with atrioventricular canal defect. The parents asks the nurse, "Why do you not put oxygen on our baby more often when his lips and fingernails are blue?" What is the best response by the nurse? "While it seems that oxygen would help, it actually worsens this condition. Treating the cause of the disease will help." "I can only place oxygen on your child if the doctor orders oxygen." "This is something we should talk with the physician about. Maybe it would help your baby." "Oxygen isn't always the best treatment for your child's condition. Surgery is necessary."
