Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A nurse caring for a newborn who has exstrophy of the bladder should cover the newborn’s bladder with a sterile, non-adherent dressing prior to the beginning of surgical correction.

Choice A is incorrect because it is not necessary to restrict the newborn’s ﬂuid intake.

Choice B is incorrect because it is not necessary to keep the newborn in a side- lying position.

Choice D is incorrect because it is not appropriate to exert gentle pressure on

the newborn’s bladder with sterile gauze.

A. "Notify the provider if the end of your baby's penis appears dark red.” B. "The Plastibell will be removed 4 hours after the procedure.” C. "Yellow exudate will form at the surgical site in 24 hours.” D. "Make sure the newborn's diaper is snug.”

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Yellow exudate will form at the surgical site in 24 hours.

After a Plastibell circumcision, the penis might develop a yellow-ish discharge which is a normal side eﬀect that should go away in a few days.

Choice A is incorrect because the foreskin may darken around the ring while it remains on the penis until it falls oﬀ naturally in 7-10 days.

Choice B is incorrect because the plastic ring remains on the penis until foreskin falls oﬀ naturally in 7-10 days.

Choice D is incorrect because there is no information found that suggests making sure the newborn’s diaper is snug after a Plastibell circumcision.
