Question 1 of 5

A nurse is performing a physical assessment of a newborn whose mother used cocaine throughout the pregnancy. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Irritability. Cocaine exposure in utero can lead to central nervous system stimulation, resulting in irritability in newborns. This is due to the drug's impact on neurotransmitters like dopamine. Hypotonicity (
B) is unlikely as cocaine typically causes hyperactivity. Decreased auditory startle response (
C) is not a common effect of cocaine exposure. Increased head circumference (
D) is not associated with cocaine use during pregnancy.
Therefore, the nurse should expect irritability as a potential finding in the newborn due to maternal cocaine use.
