Question 1 of 5

A 24-hour-old term infant had a confirmed episode of hypoglycemia when 1 hour old. Which observation by the nurse would indicate the need for follow-up?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Hypoglycemia causes central nervous system symptoms (high-pitched cry), and it is also exhibited by a lack of strength for eating enough for growth. At 24 hours old, a term infant should be able to consume at least 1 ounce of formula per feeding. A high-pitched cry is indicative of neurological involvement. Weight loss over the first few days of life and dry, peeling skin are normal findings for term infants. Blood glucose levels are acceptable at 40 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dL}(2.28 \mathrm{mmol} / \mathrm{L}) during the first few days of life.
