Answer :
A nurse is assigned to care for a newborn with the esophageal atresia. So preoperative nursing care, like preventing aspiration by elevating the head of the bed and inserting an NG tube to low suction, will be the priority for this newborn.
Esophageal atresia is a kind of birth defect in which the newborn lacks a developed esophagus tube that helps to connect the mouth to the stomach. So, Elevating the head of the bed will prevent the collapse of the airway of a newborn.
Also, Inserting an NG tube to low suction helps to carry food and medicine to the stomach of the newborn through the airway (nose).
