A Macrosomic infants are at high risk for hypoglycemia after birth and need to be
observed closely. This can be achieved in the mother's room with nursing
interventions, depending on the condition of the fetus. It may be more
appropriate for observation to occur in the nursery.
B Macrosomic infants are at high risk for hypoglycemia after birth and need to be
observed closely. Observation may occur in the nursery or in the mother's room,
depending on the condition of the fetus.

as fetal weight over 4000 g. Hypoglycemia affects many macrosomic infants.
Blood glucose levels should be observed closely.
