A 2-day-old baby boy diagnosed with hypospadias
Question 1 of 5
A nurse on a mother-baby unit is caring for a 2-day-old baby boy. The patient was seen by a urologist at 0000 and was diagnosed with hypospadias. Which order by the pediatrician is contraindicated?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Circumcision. At 2 days old, the baby has been diagnosed with hypospadias, a condition where the urethral opening is on the underside of the penis. Circumcision in this case is contraindicated because it can interfere with future corrective surgery for hypospadias. Hypospadias repair surgery often requires tissue from the foreskin for reconstruction, so circumcising the baby now could complicate the surgery later on. The other choices (A, B, and
C) are not contraindicated at this time. Hepatitis B vaccine is important for the baby's health, straight catheterization may be necessary for monitoring urinary output, and hearing screening is a routine test for newborns.
