Question 4 of 5
The nurse is planning to conduct the initial assessment of a full-term newborn. Included in the plan is providing a neutral thermal environment. To accomplish this plan, what is the desired environmental temperature to conduct the assessment?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A neutral thermal environment for a full-term newborn is one in which the infant can maintain a stable body temperature with minimal oxygen need. The desired environmental temperature to conduct the assessment and provide a thermoneutral zone is 32 to 33.5°C (89.6 to 92.3°F). This range allows the infant to maintain stability without an increase in metabolic rate.
Question 5 of 5
The mother-baby nurse is providing care to a patient and her newborn 2 hours after delivery. On review of the newborn's chart, the nurse sees a notation of caput succedaneum. What will the nurse expect to find in the mother's chart?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Caput succedaneum is caused by pressure against the mother's cervix during labor, resulting in localized edema on the newborn's head. Therefore, the nurse would expect to find a notation of longer than usual labor in the mother's chart. This is a common occurrence related to the labor process, not related to the mother's race, use of epidural, or mode of delivery.
