The parents of a newborn male ask the nurse about pain during circumcision. The nurse correctly responds with which of the following?
 
  1. Newborns can't feel pain, so don't worry about it.
  2. We'll make sure to bring your baby to you right after the procedure, so you can comfort him.
  3. I'll have the pediatrician speak to you about it.
  4. Newborns' pain experience is real. We'll use some medication to help your baby feel more comfortable.

Question 2

The parents of a newborn ask the nurse about what their baby can see. The nurse responds correctly by saying:
 
  1. Babies aren't able to see until they are around 4 months old.
  2. Babies won't track moving objects until about 5 months.
  3. Newborns blink in response to bright lights and sound and will follow large objects.
  4. Newborns aren't able to focus, so everything looks blurry to them.

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Newborns certainly do feel pain.
Rationale 2: Newborns certainly do feel pain and it is important to comfort the child, but this option does not answer the parents' question. Nurses who care for newborns should be able to explain expected reactions to the parents.
Rationale 3: Nurses who care for newborns should be able to explain expected reactions to the parents.
Rationale 4: Young babies react diffusely to pain and cannot isolate the discomfort. The pain of circumcision is not isolated in the genital region, but may be felt more diffusely, throughout the body.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This is not necessarily correct information since we don't know what they see or how it looks to them.
Rationale 2: At 5 months, the infant reaches for objects, but starts tracking them much sooner.
Rationale 3: Newborns can follow large, moving objects and blink in response to bright lights and sound. Their pupils respond slowly, and the eyes cannot focus on close objects. We don't know what they see or how it looks to them.
Rationale 4: We don't know what what newborns see or how it looks to them.
