An infant is ordered Acyclovir 150 mg IV every 8 hours. Reference: Safe Dose is 5-10mg/kg/dose. The infant weighs 6kg. What is the minimum dose this child should receive every 8 hours?

A. Facial and periorbital edema that decreases throughout the day is characteristic of nephrotic syndrome. Edema is most prominent around the eyes in the morning because fluid shifts into dependent areas (legs, ankles, abdomen) as the child becomes upright and active, making facial swelling less noticeable later in the day.
B. Facial redness that worsens in the evening is not associated with nephrotic syndrome. Redness is not a key feature of the condition.
C. Periorbital edema that increases throughout the day is the opposite of what typically occurs. The edema is worse in the morning, not the evening.
D. Swelling of the lower extremities and genitalia does occur in nephrotic syndrome but does not typically resolve or lessen throughout the day in the same way that periorbital edema does.

A. Inspecting the baby’s genitalia and urethral opening is the priority assessment in hypospadias. Hypospadias is a congenital condition in which the urethral opening is located on the ventral (underside) surface of the penis rather than at the tip. Accurate inspection is essential for confirming the diagnosis, determining severity, and guiding surgical planning. It is also important for educating parents about delaying circumcision, since foreskin tissue may be needed for repair.
B. Checking the baby’s respiratory rate is a routine newborn assessment, but it is not specific to hypospadias and is not the priority focus when this condition is suspected.
C. Measuring head circumference is important in general newborn care to track growth and neurological development but is unrelated to hypospadias.
D. Assessing the baby’s ability to breastfeed is essential in overall newborn health, but it does not address the condition of hypospadias.
