The pediatric nurse conducts a follow-up phone call for a mother who was discharged with her newborn several days ago. The mother tells the nurse that she thinks her newborn is jaundice
Which question by the nurse will help to support this mother's statement?
1. "Does your baby have tiny, white facial bumps?"
2. "Does your baby's skin and mucous membranes have a yellowish color?"
3. "Does your baby have irregular red patches on the back of the neck?"
4. "Does your baby have dark spots on the area above the buttock?"
Correct Answer: 2
Yellowing of skin and mucous membranes in an infant who is 3-4 days old is a temporary form of jaundice called physiological jaundice, but may require treatment with fluids and phototherapy. Milia are tiny, white facial papules due to sebum and will resolve within a few weeks of birth. Vascular markings are also called stork bites and may be located on the back of the neck. Harmless skin markings requiring no intervention include gray, blue, or purple spots (Mongolian spots) on the buttocks or sacral area.
