1. Respiratory assessment will help compared data to baseline to determine if there are any abnormalities.
2. Auscultating for presence of normal and abnormal breath sounds like wheezing or stridor can indicate airway obstruction.
3. Continuous monitoring vital signs to compare baselines for any abnormalities especially the oxygen saturation.
4. Infant, especially preterm infant, has nonshivering thermogenesis, which prevent infant from producing heat. With that it can easily lead them to hypothermia and can causes respiratory distress.
5. Signs of cyanosis around the tongue or oral mucus membrane can indicate hypoxia and need medical emergency.
6. Signs of behavioral changes can indicate signs of impaired gas exchange (Ackley & Ladwig,
