Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nurse should assess for bleeding for the first 12 hours following the circumcision. Gentle pressure should be applied to control bleeding. The administration of topical anesthetic and the retraction of the remaining foreskin are not included in the plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A high-pitched cry may indicate neurologic problems. Occasional crossing of the eyes, flexing of the arms and legs, and a bluish tinge of the extremities are all considered normal assessment findings in the newborn.
