Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to the parents of a newborn about newborn genetic screening. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: This test should be performed after your baby is 24 hours old. This is because genetic screening tests are usually conducted after 24 hours of age to allow for accurate results. Testing too early may lead to false positives or false negatives.
Choice A is incorrect because blood is typically drawn from the baby's heel, not the inner elbow.
Choice B is incorrect as giving water to a newborn can be harmful and is unnecessary for genetic screening.
Choice C is incorrect because genetic screening is typically only done once, shortly after birth, not repeated at 2 months old.
In summary, the correct timing for newborn genetic screening is after the baby is 24 hours old to ensure accurate results.
