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: Minimal arm recoil. In premature newborns, particularly those born at 26 weeks of gestation, their muscle tone is typically low, leading to minimal arm recoil. This is a key characteristic assessed in the New Ballard Score to determine gestational age accurately. The other choices are incorrect because: B: A popliteal angle of 90° is more indicative of term infants; C: Creases over the entire foot sole are also seen in term infants; D: Raised areolas with 3 to 4 mm buds are features of newborns closer to term. Thus, A is the most appropriate finding for a newborn born at 26 weeks of gestation based on the New Ballard Score.
