A nurse is caring for a newborn immediately following birth.
Question 1 of 5
For which of the following reasons should the nurse delay the instillation of antibiotic ophthalmic ointment?

Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 37 weeks of gestation and is being tested for group B streptococcus B-hemolytic (GBS). The client, who is multigravida and multipara with no history of GBS, asks the nurse why the test was not conducted earlier in her pregnancy.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is an appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Testing at 36-37 weeks determines GBS status at delivery, critical for preventing neonatal infection. Earlier status can change, and symptoms or past history don't dictate timing.
