Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a neonate who was exposed to heroin in utero. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the neonate is experiencing neonatal abstinence syndrome?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Frequent yawning. Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is a condition where newborns experience withdrawal symptoms due to exposure to drugs in utero, such as heroin. Frequent yawning is a common sign of NAS, as it indicates central nervous system irritability and overstimulation. Hyporeflexia (
A) is not typically seen in NAS, as these babies often exhibit hyperactive reflexes. Respiratory depression (
C) is more commonly associated with opioid overdose in neonates rather than NAS. Constipation (
D) is a nonspecific symptom and not specific to NAS.
