A nurse is assessing a newborn who has hypoglycemia due to perinatal asphyxia.
Which of the following findings should the nurse expect? (Select all that apply.)
Irregular respirations can result from hypoglycemia due to perinatal asphyxia. Hypoglycemia can impair the respiratory center in the brainstem and cause irregular breathing patterns.
N/A
Apnea can result from hypoglycemia due to perinatal asphyxia. Apnea is defined as a pause in breathing
Hypoglycemia due to perinatal asphyxia can cause various neurological signs in the newborn, such as irregular respirations, apnea, eye-rolling, and lethargy. These signs indicate inadequate oxygenation and glucose delivery to the brain. Cyanosis is not a specific sign of hypoglycemia, but rather a sign of poor oxygenation that can occur due to other causes.

The correct answer is choice A, C, D, and E. Hypoglycemia due to perinatal asphyxia can cause various neurological signs in the newborn, such as irregular respirations, apnea, eye-rolling, and lethargy.
These signs indicate inadequate oxygenation and glucose delivery to the brain. Cyanosis is not a specific sign of hypoglycemia, but rather a sign of poor oxygenation that can occur due to other causes.
Therefore, choice B is wrong.
Choice A is correct because irregular respirations can result from hypoglycemia due to perinatal asphyxia. Hypoglycemia can impair the respiratory center in the brainstem and cause irregular breathing patterns.
Choice C is correct because apnea can result from hypoglycemia due to perinatal asphyxia.
Apnea is defined as a pause in breathing
