clean to dirty, approach. Therefore, the nurse should first wipe the newborn's eyes from the
inner canthus outward using plain water. The nurse should then wash the newborn's neck
by lifting the newborn's chin. Next, the nurse should cleanse the skin around the umbilical
cord stump followed by washing the newborn's legs and feet. The last step of the bath
should be to clean the newborn's diaper area.

newborn (for example, photos, the newborn's ID bands, the newborn's hat, and the
newborn's blanket).
03.A nurse is caring for a client who is at 36 weeks of gestation and has a positive
contraction stress test. The nurse should plan to prepare the client for which of the
following diagnostic tests?
Biophysical profile
RATIONALE: A positive contraction stress test indicates that further evaluation of the
fetus
is necessary. A biophysical profile will provide further evaluation with real-time ultrasound.
04.A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who is postpartum and has
preeclampsia. Which of the following laboratory results should the nurse report to
the provider?
Platelets 50,000/mm3

which
can indicate disseminated intravascular coagulation. The nurse should report this result to
the provider.
