Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a newborn who has jaundice and a new prescription for phototherapy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Close the newborn's eyes before applying eyepatches.
To protect the newborn's eyes from potential damage due to phototherapy light, it is essential to close the eyes before placing eyepatches. This prevents exposure to the bright light, reducing the risk of eye irritation or injury. Providing glucose water (
A), turning the newborn every 4 hours (
B), and applying hydrating lotion (
C) are not directly related to the phototherapy treatment for jaundice. Closing the eyes before applying eyepatches is crucial for the safety and comfort of the newborn during the phototherapy session.
