A nurse is providing teaching to the parents of a newborn about the Plastibell circumcision technique.
Which of the following information should the nurse include?
"Notify the provider if the end of your baby's penis appears dark red.”
"The Plastibell will be removed 4 hours after the procedure.”
"Yellow exudate will form at the surgical site in 24 hours.”
"Make sure the newborn's diaper is snug.”
The Correct Answer is C
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.
