Answer to Question 1

T
Bilirubinometers are non-invasive devices to measure bilirubin levels in the infant's skin,
thus avoiding repeated skin punctures to obtain blood samples. Abnormal results of TcB
be should be confirmed with a total serum bilirubin (TsB). The National Association of
Neonatal Nurses recommends obtaining a TcB or TsB on all infants prior to discharge.
