Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should provide the mother with accurate information about various procedures performed on the newborn. Assessing gestational age is a nursing assessment and does not have to be ordered. It is not needed for insurance needs. Gestational age does not dictate hospital stays. Problems that occur because of gestational age may prolong the stay.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
A maculopapular rash with a red base and a small white papule in the center is a description of erythema toxicum, a normal rash in the newborn. Milia are minute epidermal cysts on the face of the newborn. Mongolian spots are bluish-black discolorations found on dark-skinned newborns, usually on the sacrum. Caf-au-lait spots are pale tan (the color of coffee with milk) macules. Occasional spots occur normally in newborns.
