Questions and Answers 100% Solved


A nurse is assessing a newborn infant following circumcision and notes that

the circumcised area is red with a small amount of bloody drainage. Which

of the following nursing actions would be most appropriate?

1. Document the findings

2. Contact the physician

3. Circle the amount of bloody drainage on the dressing and reassess in 30

minutes

4. Reinforce the dressing - ✔✔1. Document the findings - The penis is

normally red during the healing process. A yellow exudate may be noted in

24 hours, and this is a part of normal healing. The nurse would expect that

the area would be red with a small amount of bloody drainage. If the

bleeding is excessive, the nurse would apply gentle pressure with sterile

gauze. If bleeding is not controlled, then the blood vessel may need to be

ligated, and the nurse would contact the physician. Because the findings

assessment.
