Extract:
A nurse is caring for a newborn who has jaundice and a new prescription for phototherapy.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Closing the eyes before applying eyepatches protects them from phototherapy light. Turning isn't critical, lotion blocks light, and glucose water isn't indicated.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a client who is 1 day postpartum and breastfeeding her newborn. The client reports sore nipples.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Assessing the latch addresses the common cause of sore nipples, allowing correction. Limiting feeding time, spacing feedings, or adding formula don't fix the underlying issue.
Extract:
A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who is breastfeeding her newborn.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following instructions should the nurse offer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Feeding every 2-3 hours meets newborn nutritional needs. Two to four wet diapers is too few (expect 6+), 5-10 minutes per breast is insufficient, and water isn't needed.
Extract:
A nurse is educating the parents of a newborn about the Plastibell circumcision technique.
Question 4 of 5
Which piece of information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Yellow exudate, which is a normal part of the healing process, will form at the surgical site within 24 hours. This is a normal part of the healing process and should not be mistaken for pus, which would indicate an infection. Ensuring the diaper is snug is general care, a dark red tip isn't a specific concern, and the Plastibell falls off naturally after about a week, not 4 hours.
Extract:
A nurse is caring for a patient immediately following the delivery of a stillborn fetus.
Question 5 of 5
What action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Providing photos of the fetus supports memory-making and aids in the grieving process after a stillbirth. An autopsy is optional, time with the fetus should be based on parental wishes, and naming the fetus is not legally required.
