Question 1 of 5
A neonate, who is one day old, develops a cephalhematoma. Which common complication should the nurse assess this neonate for?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Cephalhematomas are caused by the rupture of blood vessels between the skull and periosteum, resulting in a blood collection. The breakdown of red blood cells in this trapped blood can lead to the release of bilirubin, increasing an infant's risk for hyperbilirubinemia and jaundice.
