Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nursery nurse would plan to monitor feeding behaviors, perform a hearing screening, and perform a heel stick to obtain blood for the newborn screening during the first 48 hours of life. Monitoring the mother during the first newborn bath may not be necessary as the nurse can educate the mother on proper newborn bathing techniques. Administering folic-acid injection to prevent bleeding is not a standard practice in the first 48 hours of life.
