Question 1 of 5
The nurse is measuring both the chest and head circumference during the full-term newborn’s initial assessment. The newborn’s father observes this and asks the nurse why both measurements are necessary. Which explanation is most accurate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The circumference of the normal newborn’s head is approximately 2 centimeters greater than the chest at birth. Extreme differences may indicate abnormalities like microcephalus or hydrocephalus. Head size doesn’t predict intelligence chest size doesn’t assess cardiac health and measurements don’t predict adult size.
