Term newborn following cesarean birth, slightly yellow skin

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is admitting a term newborn to the nursery following a cesarean birth. The nurse observes that the newborn's skin is slightly yellow. This finding indicates the newborn is experiencing a complication related to which of the following?

A. Maternal/newborn blood group incompatibility B. Absence of vitamin K C. Maternal cocaine abuse D. Physiologic jaundice

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Yellow skin within 24 hours suggests pathologic jaundice, often from blood group incompatibility causing hemolysis and bilirubin rise. Vitamin K deficiency causes bleeding, cocaine abuse unrelated to jaundice, and physiologic jaundice appears later.
