Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Cleansing the penis gently with water and putting petroleum jelly around the glans after each di-aper change are appropriate when caring for an infant who has had a circumcision. With each di-aper change, the penis should be washed off with warm water to remove any urine or feces. If bleeding occurs, the nurse should apply gentle pressure to the site of the bleeding with a sterile gauze square. Yellow exudates cover the glans penis in 24 hours after the circumcision. This is part of normal healing and not an infective process. The exudates should not be removed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The presence of excessive saliva in a neonate should alert the nurse to the possibility of trache-oesophageal fistula or esophageal atresia.
