Answer to Question 1

Obtain vital signs, and report them and your observations to the nurse right away. It is likely an infection, which can be quite serious in newborns.

Answer to Question 2

Remain professional. Assure him that this is perfectly normal. Tell him that you are going to give him some privacy and tell him when you will be back. Ask him if he would prefer a male attendant (if one is available).
