2-day-old neonate weighing 8 pounds at birth, lost one-half pound
Question 1 of 5
The new mother of a 2-day-old neonate who weighed 8 pounds at birth is distressed that the baby has lost one-half pound. The home health nurse's response is one of:
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Reassurance as this is a normal weight loss. A neonate typically loses around 5-10% of their birth weight in the first few days, primarily due to fluid loss. This weight loss is considered normal and does not necessarily indicate inadequate nutrition. It is important for the nurse to provide reassurance to the new mother to alleviate her distress.
Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because weight loss in the range mentioned is expected, not alarming or indicative of inadequate nutrition.
