Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a newborn who was born at 26 weeks of gestation using the New Ballard Score. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. At 26 weeks of gestation, newborns are expected to have minimal arm recoil based on the New Ballard Score, as their muscle tone is typically low. This indicates immaturity and aligns with the developmental stage of a premature infant. The other choices are incorrect because: B: A popliteal angle of 90° is more indicative of a term infant. C: Creases over the entire foot sole are also seen in term infants, not premature infants. D: Raised areolas with 3 to 4 mm buds are associated with breast development in term infants, not preterm infants.
