Question 1 of 5
A nurse has completed an assessment on a newborn. Which finding is considered abnormal?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Nystagmus refers to involuntary and repetitive eye movements. It is considered abnormal in a newborn as it may be a sign of a neurological or visual problem. Therefore, if a nurse observes nystagmus during a newborn assessment, it should be further investigated and discussed with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management. Profuse drooling, dark green or black stools, and slight vaginal reddish discharge are common findings in newborns and do not typically indicate a serious health issue.
