Question 1 of 5
What should the nurse expect for a full-term newborn's weight during the first few days of life?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. During the first few days of life, it is normal for newborns, both formula-fed and breastfed, to experience a weight loss of around 5% to 10% of their birth weight. This initial weight loss is primarily due to fluid loss and adjustment to feeding. It is important for the nurse to expect and monitor this weight loss to ensure the newborn's health and growth trajectory.
Choice A is incorrect because weight loss is not limited to breastfed infants only.
Choice B is incorrect as it states an increase in weight for formula-fed babies, which is not the usual pattern in the first few days.
Choice D is incorrect because it inaccurately suggests a gain in weight for formula-fed newborns in the first 48 hours, which is not typical.
