Suction each of the nares before suctioning the mouth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Explanation:<\/strong><br>When using a bulb syringe for suctioning a newborn\u2019s secretions, the proper order is to suction the nares first to clear the nasal passages before suctioning the mouth. This is because clearing the nasal passages helps prevent the newborn from inhaling any secretions that could be suctioned from the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a brief explanation of why the other options are incorrect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A. Insert the syringe tip before compressing the bulb:<\/strong> The syringe tip should be inserted into the area where suction is needed before releasing the bulb to create suction. Compressing the bulb before insertion can push secretions further into the airway or cause discomfort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C. Insert the tip of the syringe into the center of the newborn&#8217;s mouth:<\/strong> The syringe tip should be positioned at the side of the mouth, not in the center, to avoid stimulating the gag reflex and to effectively clear secretions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>D. Stop suctioning when the newborn&#8217;s cry sounds clear:<\/strong> The cry of the newborn may not be the best indicator of whether suctioning is complete. Instead, suctioning should be done as needed based on the presence of secretions and the newborn\u2019s comfort. Over-suctioning or suctioning until the cry sounds clear can be harmful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A nurse is teaching a new mother how to use a bulb syringe to suction her newborn&#8217;s secretions.
