, 4. Fetal urinary retention - A3.
A nursing diagnosis of risk for fetal injury is an appropriate
nursing diagnosis.
Physiologic jaundice which occurs 2-3 days after birth due to
the liver's inability to keep up with RBC destruction. Who is
the culprit in this case?
A. Conjugated bilirubin
B. Unconjugated bilirubin
C. Unconjugated penile D. Conjugated penile - AB.
Typically, NCLEX-RN questions ask about normal problem
physiologic jaundice which occurs 2-3 days afte birth due to
the livers inability to keep up
with RBC destruction and bind bilirubin. Remember,
unconjugated bilirubin is
the

A 7lb 8oz baby would need 50 calories x7lbs=350 calories plus

A. 18.75
B. 14.75
C. 13.75 D. 16.75 - AA.
Dividing 375 by 20 =18.75 ounces of formula needed per day
