1, 3, 5
Feedback
1. Because of the positioning during labor, it will be important for the femur to be assessed.
2. The phalanges are not a risk for fracture.
3. The clavicle is at high risk for fracture because of the delivery of the shoulders during labor.
4. The radius is at a low risk for fracture during labor.
5. The humerus is at a high risk for fracture because of the pressure when delivering the neonate's shoulders.

Answer to Question 2

D
Until respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) has been ruled out, the baby will be placed in isolation.
