Regardless of who performs the physical assessment , the nurse must know normal versus
abnormal variations of the newborn. What is the difference between caput succedaneum and
cephalhematoma?
A. cephalhematoma crosses suture lines and is usually present at birth
B. Cephalhematoma does NOT cross suture lines and manifests a few hours after birth
C. Cephalhematoma: edema under scalp
D. Caput succedaneum : blood under teh periosteum - CORRECT ANSWERS B.
It is difficult to differentiate between caput succedaneum (edema under the scalp) and
cephalhematoma (blood under the peristeum). The caput crosses suture lines and is usually
present at birth, while cephalhematoma does not cross suture lines and manifests a few hours
after birth.
Postpartum blues are usually normal, especially 5 - 7 days after deliverry. In what case is

Remember RhoGRAM is given to a Rh negative mother who delivers a Rh positive fetus and has
a negative direct Coombs. If the mother has a positive Coombs, there is no need to give
RhoGRAM since the mother is already sensitized
The umbilical cord should always be checked at birth. What should the umbilical card contain in
a newborn?
A. 3 vessels, 2 veins which carry oxygenated blood to the fetus and 1 artery whic carries
unoxygenated blood back to placenta
B. 4 vessels, 2 veins which carry oxygenated blood to the fetus and 2 arteries which carries
unoxygenated blood back to placenta
C. 3 vessels, 1 veins which carries oxygenated blood to the fetus and 2 arteries which carries
unoxygenated blood back to placenta
D. 3 vessels, 1 artery which carries oxygenated blood to the fetus and 2 veins which carries
unoxygenated blood back to placenta - CORRECT ANSWERS C. It should contain 3
vessels, 1 vein which carries oxygenated blood to the fetus nad 2 arteries whic carry
unoxygenated blood back to the placenta. This is opposite of normal circulation.
The umbilical cord in a newborn should contain 3 vessels, 1 vein which carries oxygenated
