A nurse is assessing the urine on a newborn's diaper. What would be a normal assessment finding?
A) Scanty to no urine
B) Highly concentrated urine
C) Light in color and odorless
D) Dark in color and odorous
Ans: C
Infants are born with little ability to concentrate urine. An infant's urine is usually very light in color and without odor until about 6 weeks of age, when the nephrons are able to control reabsorption of fluids and effectively concentrate urine. Infants do not normally have scanty, highly concentrated, or dark and odorous urine.
