Nursing Care of the Newborn Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse knows that during the organizational process, the newborn won't be rated as exceptionally good if they do what?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because a newborn being highly irritable and demonstrating mood swings is indicative of poor adaptability and self-regulation skills, which are factors considered in rating newborns. Being irritable and having mood swings can be signs of difficulty in self-soothing and adjusting to the environment, hence not meeting the criteria for being rated exceptionally good. A: Remaining alert is generally a positive sign of responsiveness, so it wouldn't hinder the newborn from being rated as exceptionally good. C: Demonstrating self-soothing and quieting techniques is a positive behavior that can contribute to a newborn being rated as exceptionally good. D: Shutting down body responses to stimuli when drowsy is a normal physiological response and does not necessarily impact the newborn's rating as exceptionally good.
