Question 1 of 5
A nurse in the newborn nursery is collecting data about a newborn's Moro reflex. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to elicit this reflex?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
To elicit the Moro reflex in a newborn, the nurse should turn the newborn's head quickly to one side while they are sleeping. This reflex is triggered by a sudden change in head position or a loud noise, causing the newborn to extend and then retract their arms in a protective motion. This action simulates the sensation of falling, which activates the Moro reflex. Placing a finger in the newborn's palm (choice
B) would elicit the grasp reflex, not the Moro reflex. Clapping hands after laying the newborn on a flat surface (choice
C) would not specifically elicit the Moro reflex. Holding the newborn upright with one foot touching the crib surface (choice
D) would not provoke the Moro reflex as it requires a sudden change in head position.
