Nursing Care of the Newborn and Family Questions
Question 1 of 5
When assessing the newborn for the presence of lanugo, where should the nurse look for it?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because lanugo, the fine hair that covers a newborn's body, is commonly found on the back between the scapulae. This area is where lanugo is most prominent and noticeable. Lanugo is not typically found on the newborn's face (choice A) or extremities (choice B). While some lanugo may be present on the newborn's back near their buttocks (choice C), it is not the primary location for this fine hair to be observed. Therefore, choice D is the correct answer based on the typical distribution of lanugo on a newborn's body.
Question 2 of 5
When teaching umbilical cord care to a new parent, the nurse would include which information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Step 1: Keeping the cord dry and open to air helps promote natural drying and healing. Step 2: Moisture can lead to infection, so keeping it dry is crucial. Step 3: Covering the cord or applying substances can trap moisture and hinder healing. Step 4: Using peroxide or soap can irritate the delicate skin and disrupt the natural healing process. Summary: Choice C is correct as it promotes optimal cord healing, while the other choices can introduce moisture, irritants, or disrupt the natural healing process.
