Further teaching is needed if the student responded blindness and constipation. The most common harmful effect of heroin on newborns is withdrawal which can include such symptoms as sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, irritability, and seizures.

A possible intervention for the preterm infant involves placing the naked infant on the mother's chest between her breasts. This is known as kangaroo care and is associated with skin-to-skin contact. Kangaroo care is not associated with infant massage.
