Question 1 of 5
A nurse is completing the admission assessment of a newborn. Which of the following anatomical landmarks should the nurse use when measuring the newborn’s chest circumference?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nipple line. When measuring a newborn's chest circumference, the nurse should use the nipple line as the anatomical landmark. This is because the nipple line is a consistent and reliable reference point for chest measurements in newborns. The other choices are not suitable landmarks for chest circumference measurement in newborns. A: Intercostal space is not a specific point for measurement. B: Xiphoid process is too low and not commonly used for chest measurements. C: Sternal notch is not a precise point for chest circumference measurement in newborns.
Therefore, D: Nipple line is the most appropriate anatomical landmark for accurate chest circumference measurement in newborns.
