Question 2 of 5
The parents of a newborn with a strawberry hemangioma ask the nurse what the treatment will be. What information does the nurse need to include in the response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct information the nurse should provide to the parents is that no treatment is usually necessary for a strawberry hemangioma because of the high rate of spontaneous involution. Strawberry hemangiomas are common vascular tumors in infants that typically appear in the first few weeks of life. They usually grow rapidly for the first several months and then begin to shrink and eventually disappear on their own. In most cases, the hemangioma resolves without the need for any intervention. Therefore, reassuring the parents that observation is the primary management approach is important, unless complications such as ulceration, bleeding, or obstruction occur.
Question 3 of 5
When should the nurse expect breastfeeding-associated jaundice to first appear in a normal newborn?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Breastfeeding-associated jaundice typically first appears in a normal newborn between 2 to 4 days after birth. This type of jaundice is usually mild and is caused by insufficient milk intake, leading to decreased bilirubin elimination. It is important for healthcare providers to monitor the baby's weight and ensure adequate feeding to prevent or address breastfeeding-associated jaundice.
Question 4 of 5
Which is the most common cause of anemia in preterm newborns?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The most common cause of anemia in preterm newborns is frequent blood sampling. Preterm infants are often subject to numerous blood tests for various reasons such as monitoring oxygen and blood gas levels, assessing bilirubin levels, infection screening, and more. These repeated blood withdrawals lead to a loss of red blood cells and can contribute to the development of anemia in preterm infants. Anemia in preterm newborns can have significant consequences, including impaired growth and development, delayed hospital discharge, and the potential need for blood transfusions. Therefore, minimizing unnecessary blood sampling and utilizing non-invasive monitoring methods whenever possible are key strategies in preventing and managing anemia in preterm newborns.
