Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a newborn following a forceps-assisted birth. Which of the following clinical manifestations should the nurse identify as a complication of this birth method?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Facial palsy. Forceps-assisted births can put pressure on the baby's face, leading to facial nerve injury and subsequent facial palsy. This can present as weakness or paralysis of facial muscles. Polycythemia (
A) is not typically associated with forceps-assisted births. Hypoglycemia (
B) is more commonly seen in infants of diabetic mothers or preterm infants. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (
C) is a lung condition often seen in premature infants on ventilatory support. The key is to recognize the specific complications related to forceps-assisted births, making choice D the most appropriate in this scenario.
