Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is developing a plan of care for a newborn who is to undergo phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Remove all clothing from the newborn except the diaper. This is because phototherapy works by exposing the baby's skin to special lights to help break down excess bilirubin. By removing all clothing, except the diaper, the maximum amount of skin is exposed to the light, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the therapy.
A: Feeding the newborn water every 4 hours is not directly related to phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia.
B: Applying lotion to the newborn's skin may interfere with the effectiveness of the phototherapy and is not necessary for the treatment.
D: Discontinuing therapy if the newborn develops a rash is not appropriate as rashes can occur as a side effect of phototherapy but should not necessarily lead to discontinuation of treatment.
