An infant who has myelomeningocele
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is orienting a newly licensed nurse in the care of an infant who has myelomeningocele. Which of the following actions by the new nurse indicates the teaching has been effective?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Takes an axillary temperature. This is the correct action because infants with myelomeningocele are at risk for infection due to the exposed spinal cord. Taking the axillary temperature reduces the risk of introducing infection into the spinal defect. Placing the infant in a side-lying position (choice
A) is important for preventing pressure on the sac but not the best indicator of effective teaching. Maintaining a dry dressing over the sac (choice
B) is crucial but does not specifically indicate understanding of care. Performing range of motion on the infant's hips (choice
C) is important but not directly related to myelomeningocele care.
