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 important during phototherapy as it maximizes the skin exposure to the light, aiding in the breakdown of bilirubin. Removing clothing allows for better absorption of the therapeutic light.
A is incorrect as water should not be given to a newborn without a specific medical indication. B is unnecessary and may interfere with the effectiveness of the phototherapy. D is incorrect as a rash is a common side effect of phototherapy and does not necessarily warrant discontinuation of treatment.
