The client should change the newborn's diaper and examine the circumcision site at least every 4
hr.
Use baby wipes containing alcohol to cleanse the penis with each diaper change.
Baby wipes containing alcohol can irritate the skin and should be avoided until the
circumcision has healed, which usually takes 5 to 6 days. During each diaper change, the penis
should be washed gently with warm water and have petroleum jelly applied to the glans.
Remove yellow exudate daily using a warm, wet washcloth.
The client should not attempt to remove any yellow exudate from the circumcision site
because it is part of the healing process, which begins within 24 hr and continues for 2 to 3
days. Disrupting it can cause pain and bleeding.

the following information should the nurse include?
"Your milk will replace colostrum in about 10 days."

breasts will feel firm and heavy. The client should continue to feed the newborn on demand
during this period.

baby who continues to show indications of hunger (for example, rooting, sucking on the hands, or
crying) might not be effectively emptying the breasts during feedings.

when positive urine ketones are present.
