Question 1 of 5

The nurse knows that during the motoric process, the newborn will be rated poorly if they do what?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because hyper- or hypotonic movements indicate abnormal muscle tone, which can be a sign of neurological or developmental issues in newborns. This would lead to a poor rating during the motoric process as it reflects a lack of proper muscle control and coordination. Good reflexes (A) and good head control (C) are positive indicators of normal motor development in newborns. Moderate activity levels (D) are subjective and not directly related to motoric assessment.

Question 2 of 5

A home health nurse visits a 2-week-old infant and observes the umbilical cord has dried and fallen off. The area appears healed with no drainage or erythema present. Given these assessment findings, what instruction should the nurse give the parent?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: give the baby a bath in an infant tub now. This instruction is appropriate as the umbilical cord has dried and fallen off, indicating that the area is healed. Giving the baby a bath in an infant tub will help keep the area clean and promote healing. A: Covering the umbilicus with a band-aid is unnecessary and may hinder air circulation, leading to potential infection. B: Continuing to clean the stump with alcohol for 1 week is unnecessary as the cord has already fallen off and the area is healed. C: Applying an antibiotic ointment to the stump is not recommended unless there are signs of infection, which are not present in this case.
