For which condition should the nurse immediately
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A blood sugar recording of 60 mg/dL in an infant born 6 hours ago requires immediate notification of the health care team.

Immediate intervention and close monitoring by the healthcare team are essential to prevent potential long-term neurological consequences associated with hypoglycemia in newborns.
