The nurse is caring for a newborn who was delivered from a woman who took benzodiazepines for anxiety during the last 2 months of her pregnancy after her husband was killed in war. What will the nurse assess for in this newborn?
A) Newborn withdrawal syndrome
B) Hepatic dysfunction
C) Failure to thrive
D) Learning deficiencies
A
Feedback:
Neonatal withdrawal syndrome may result in a baby born to a mother who was taking benzodiazepines in the final weeks of pregnancy. The neonate may be given very small doses of benzodiazepines that are withdrawn gradually to prevent symptoms. Hepatic dysfunction in the neonate is not associated with use of benzodiazepines. Failure to thrive and learning deficiencies would be long-term problems and are not assessed during the neonatal period.
