Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing an initial assessment of a newborn who was delivered with a nuchal cord. Which of the following clinical findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Facial petechiae. A nuchal cord occurs when the umbilical cord is wrapped around the baby's neck at birth. This can cause pressure on the baby's blood vessels, leading to tiny red or purple spots on the face called petechiae. This finding indicates possible trauma during delivery. Telangiectatic nevi (choice
A) are not typically associated with nuchal cords. Periauricular papillomas (choice
C) are benign growths near the ear and are unrelated to nuchal cords. Erythema toxicum (choice
D) is a common newborn rash that is not specifically linked to nuchal cords.
