Nursing Care of the Newborn Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assigned to the room of a 15-year-old person who gave birth to a newborn 72 hours ago. Why is this newborn a perfect candidate for the Brazelton assessment?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the Brazelton assessment is used to evaluate the newborn's neurobehavioral development and ability to interact with the environment. In this case, the 15-year-old parent may be at risk for delayed attachment due to her age and the circumstances of giving birth. The assessment can help identify any issues early on and provide appropriate interventions. Choice B is incorrect because the timing of when the newborn is going home is not relevant to the Brazelton assessment. Choice C is incorrect as the Electronic Health Record (EHR) prompting is not a valid reason to conduct the assessment. Choice D is incorrect as there is no indication that the infant is withdrawing from a substance.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse provides discharge instructions to a parent about umbilical cord care. What statement by the parent indicates effective health teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: Using water and soap if the stump is dirty is the correct method for umbilical cord care as per current guidelines. Step 2: Soap and water help prevent infection without disrupting the natural healing process. Step 3: Daily tub baths or using antiseptics or antibiotic ointments can be harmful by interfering with healing. Step 4: Therefore, choice C is the most appropriate and effective method for umbilical cord care.
