  A. A newborn's immune system isn't mature, so symptoms are vague.
   B. You would have seen more symptoms if you had been looking closely.
   C. A fever will be present in sick newborns, including your baby.
   D. A mother's immunity usually protects the infant from illness.

Question 2

The home care nurse is examining a three-day-old infant. The child's skin on the sternum is yellow when blanched with a finger. The parents ask the nurse why jaundice occurs. The best response from the nurse is:

   B. The infant received too many red blood cells after delivery because the cord was not clamped immediately.
   C. The yellow color of your baby's skin indicates that you are breastfeeding too often.
   D. This is an abnormal finding related to your baby's bowels not excreting bilirubin as they should.
