Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a newborn following a circumcision. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an indication that the newborn is experiencing pain?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Chin quivering. Pain assessment in newborns can be challenging due to their limited ability to communicate. Chin quivering is a common behavioral indicator of pain in newborns. It is a subtle sign of distress and discomfort. Other choices such as decreased heart rate (
A), pinpoint pupils (
C), and slowed respirations (
D) are not reliable indicators of pain in newborns. Decreased heart rate can indicate relaxation, pinpoint pupils are more indicative of opioid use, and slowed respirations might be a sign of sleepiness or relaxation rather than pain.
