Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is a potential complication of hypoglycemia in a newborn?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: All of the above. Hypoglycemia in a newborn can lead to hypothermia due to decreased energy production, hyperbilirubinemia as the liver struggles to process bilirubin, and respiratory distress syndrome as a result of decreased glucose for energy production in the lungs. Hypothermia can occur due to inadequate glucose supply for thermogenesis. Hyperbilirubinemia may occur as the liver is overwhelmed by the breakdown of red blood cells due to hypoglycemia. Respiratory distress syndrome can develop due to reduced glucose availability affecting lung maturation.
Therefore, all of the choices are potential complications of hypoglycemia in a newborn.
