For each body system below, specify the potential complications that can occur.

Match the body system with the potential complications.

Choice A rationale

Jitteriness indicates hypoglycemia in newborns as glucose is critical for neonatal brain function. Blood glucose less than 45 mg/dL supports this diagnosis, requiring prompt intervention to avoid neurological harm.

Choice B rationale

Hypertonia typically suggests central nervous system dysfunction but is not a hypoglycemia indicator. Normal newborn muscle tone ranges are neither hypertonic nor hypotonic in non-pathological states.

Choice C rationale

Acrocyanosis is common in newborns due to immature circulatory systems. It is not indicative of hypoglycemia and resolves as peripheral circulation improves.

Choice D rationale

Generalized petechiae suggest coagulation disorders or sepsis, not hypoglycemia. Petechiae warrant investigation of clotting abnormalities or infections, rather than focusing on glucose regulation.

Choice A rationale

Forcibly retracting the foreskin can cause pain, injury, or adhesions. The foreskin naturally separates over time, and forced retraction is not recommended.

Choice B rationale

Cotton swabs should not be used under the foreskin as they may cause irritation or damage. Cleaning with mild soap and water is sufficient.

Choice C rationale

Petroleum jelly is not necessary for uncircumcised penis care as the foreskin provides natural protection. Basic hygiene is adequate to prevent irritation or infection.

Choice D rationale

Daily washing with mild soap and water ensures proper hygiene and prevents infection. This method maintains cleanliness without causing harm to sensitive tissues.
