Question 1 of 5

A nurse is admitting an 8-hour old, term newborn following a cesarean birth. The nurse observes that the newborn's skin is yellow. This finding indicates the newborn is experiencing a complication related to which of the following?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Maternal/newborn blood group incompatibility. The yellow skin color in the newborn indicates hyperbilirubinemia, which can be caused by maternal/newborn blood group incompatibility. In this condition, the mother and baby have different blood types, leading to the mother's antibodies attacking the baby's red blood cells, causing hemolysis and increased bilirubin levels. Physiologic jaundice (choice
A) is common in newborns due to immature liver function; however, it typically appears after 24 hours of life. Maternal cocaine abuse (choice
C) does not directly cause neonatal jaundice. Absence of vitamin K (choice
D) leads to bleeding issues but not jaundice.
