Question 1 of 5

Kramer's rule is used for :

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Kramer's rule assesses neonatal jaundice by observing skin yellowing progression. From head (zone 1) to feet (zone 5), it correlates with bilirubin levels (e.g., zone 3 ≈ 10-15 mg/dL), guiding intervention. Necrotizing enterocolitis (choice B) uses imaging/labs, not this rule. Burns (choice C) rely on burn percentage rules (e.g., Lund-Browder). Asphyxia (choice D) involves Apgar/gas analysis. A is correct, specific to jaundice. Nurses apply it, monitor bilirubin, and initiate phototherapy, preventing kernicterus.
