She was given one dose of surfactant at birth, ventilated for 10 days and was extubated 3 days ago and is now being nursed on heated high flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) respiratory support. The support was reduced 6 hours ago and Saffi is being nursed in 25% oxygen in 6L flow. Saffi is receiving her Mother's expressed milk via an orogastric tube at 20mls/kg/24 hours and parental nutrition at 130mls/kg/24 hours via a long line

1. Explain how HHFNC works to support Salfi and outline with rationales the nursing care you would provide for Saffi on HHFNC
