Which statement should the nurse include in the discharge teaching of first-time parents? "Your newborn should:
1. "Urinate at least three times each day."
2. "Not develop pink stains in his urine."
3. "Have urine that smells like adult urine."
4. "Have a bladder capacity of less than an ounce."
4
Rationale:
1. Three times per day is too few voidings. Infants over 2 days of age should void 5– 25 times per day.
2. Pink stains in the urine are referred to as "brick dust," come from urates, and are normal.
3. The urine of a newborn should be nearly odorless.
4. Bladder capacity of a newborn ranges from 6 to 44 ml.
