Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a newborn who is 48 hours old and is experiencing opioid withdrawals. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, also known as neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), can occur in newborns who were exposed to opioids in utero. Symptoms of NAS can include tremors, irritability, high-pitched crying, poor feeding, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, and sneezing. The severity of symptoms can vary depending on the type of opioid exposure, dosage, and duration of exposure. In this case, the nurse should expect to see moderate tremors of the extremities in the newborn experiencing opioid withdrawals at 48 hours old. It is important for the nurse to monitor and manage the newborn's withdrawal symptoms closely to ensure their safety and well-being.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: When a woman with Down syndrome (trisomy 21) has a child with a man who does not have any chromosomal abnormalities, the chance of their offspring having Down syndrome is 25%. This is because the mother can only pass on one copy of the extra chromosome 21 to her child, resulting in a 50% chance of passing it on. However, since the father does not have an extra chromosome 21 to contribute, the overall chance of the child having Down syndrome is reduced to 25%.
