Question 1 of 5
The LPN is performing an assessment on a 4-day-old 8-pound, 6-ounce newborn with a head circumference of 33 cm. Given this information, what would the nurse expect the child's chest circumference to be?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In newborns, the head circumference should be 2 cm to 3 cm larger than the chest circumference.
Note: Due to molding that occurs during the birth process, the head and chest measurement may be nearly equal during the first 48 hours after birth.
