The nurse is caring for a client who is in labor. The physician still isn't present. After the neonate's head is delivered, which nursing intervention would be most appropriate ？（）
A．Checking for the umbilical cord around the neonate's neck.
B．Placing antibiotic ointment in the neonate's eyes.
C．Turning the neonate's head to the side, to drain secretions.
D．Assessing the neonate for respirations.
参考答案：A
解析：
After the neonate's head is delivered, the nurse should check for the cord around the neonate's neck. If the cord is around the neck, it should be gently lifted over the neonate's head. Antibiotic ointment, to prevent gonorrheal conjunctivitis, is administered to the neonate after birth, not during delivery of the head. The neonate's head isn't turned during delivery. After delivery, the neonate is held with his head lowered to help with drainage of secretions. If a bulb syringe is available, it can be used to gently suction the neonate's mouth. Assessing the neonate's respiratory status should be done immediately after delivery.
