Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about collecting a specimen for the universal newborn screening. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ensure that the newborn has been receiving feedings for 24 hours prior to obtaining the specimen. This is important because certain metabolic disorders can only be detected if the baby has been feeding normally. Without proper feeding, the test results may not be accurate.
Choice A is incorrect because informed consent is not required for universal newborn screening; it is a routine procedure.
Choice B is incorrect as urine is not typically used for the universal newborn screening.
Choice D is incorrect because premature newborns may have false positive tests, not false negative tests, due to immature liver enzyme development.
