high-pitched cry. What diagnosis best correlates with the
assessment findings? Correct Answers periventricular-
intraventricular hemorrhage; If periventricular-intraventricular
hemorrhage is suspected, evaluate the newborn for a drop in
hematocrit, pallor, and poor perfusion as evidenced by
respiratory distress and oxygen desaturation. Note seizures,
lethargy, or other changes in level of consciousness, bulging
fontanel, weak sucking, metabolic acidosis, high-pitched cry, or
hypotonia. Palpate the anterior fontanel for tenseness.

embolism.

evaluating her blood work, the nurse would be concerned if the
hematocrit is noted to have: Correct Answers acutely
decreased; Despite the decrease in blood volume, the hematocrit
remains relatively stable and may even increase, reflecting the
predominant loss of plasma. An acute decrease in hematocrit is
not an expected finding and may indicate hemorrhage.
