A newborn with a spiral fracture of the right femur
Question 1 of 5
A newborn is admitted with a diagnosis of a spiral fracture of the right femur. The mother states the child received the injury when the baby fell off the changing table. Which would be the priority nursing intervention?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Call the child abuse hotline. This is the priority nursing intervention because a spiral fracture of the femur in a newborn is highly suspicious for child abuse, especially when the mother's explanation does not align with the severity of the injury. It is critical to ensure the safety and well-being of the child by reporting this potential abuse to the appropriate authorities promptly.
Informing the mother to call the nurse for diaper changes (
A) is not addressing the issue of potential child abuse. Educating the mother on safety (
B) is important but not the priority in this situation. Completing the Morse Fall Scale (
C) is irrelevant as it assesses fall risk in hospitalized patients, not newborns.
