Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should anticipate neurobehavioral depression or excitability and implement care directed at the newborn's manifestations. Few or no neurologic sequelae appear in newborns born to mothers who use cocaine during pregnancy. The newborn is usually a poor feeder, so hypoglycemia would be a more likely occurrence. Cardiac and respiratory problems are usually not evident in these newborns.
