Extract:
A nurse is planning care for a newborn who has spinal bifida.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Place the newborn in the prone position. Placing the newborn in the prone position is essential for reducing the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and promoting safe sleep practices. This position helps maintain an open airway and reduces the risk of suffocation.
Choice A is incorrect because covering the lesion with a dry dressing does not directly impact the newborn's safety or well-being.
Choice B, obtaining rectal temperatures, is not necessary for the plan of care unless specifically indicated by a healthcare provider.
Choice D, applying snug, clean diapers, is important but not as critical as placing the newborn in the prone position for safe sleep.
