A mother expresses fear about changing her infant's
diaper after he is circumcised. What does the woman
need to be taught to take care of the infant when she gets
home?
a. Cleanse the penis with prepackaged diaper wipes every
3 to 4 hours.
b. Apply constant, firm pressure by squeezing the penis
with the fingers for at least 5 minutes if bleeding occurs.
c. Cleanse the penis gently with water and put petroleum
jelly around the glans after each diaper change.
d. Wash off the yellow exudate that forms on the glans at
least once every day to prevent infection. - Answer-C
(Cleansing the penis gently with water and putting
petroleum jelly around the glans after each diaper change
are appropriate when caring for an infant who has had a
circumcision. With each diaper change, the penis should
,2|Page
be washed off with warm water to remove any urine or
feces. If bleeding occurs, the nurse should apply gentle
pressure to the site of the bleeding with a sterile gauze
square. Yellow exudates cover the glans penis in 24 hours
after the circumcision. This is part of normal healing and
not an infective process. The exudates should not be
removed.)
Nurses can assist parents who are trying to decide
whether their son should be circumcised by explaining:
a. The pros and cons of the procedure during the prenatal
period.
b. That the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)
recommends that all newborn boys be routinely
circumcised.
c. That circumcision is rarely painful and any discomfort
can be managed without medication.
d. That the infant will likely be alert and hungry shortly
after the procedure. - Answer-A
(Many parents find themselves making the decision during
the pressure of labor. The AAP and other professional
organizations note the benefits but stop short of

recommendation for routine circumcision. Circumcision is
painful and must be managed with environmental,
nonpharmacologic, and pharmacologic measures. After
the procedure the infant may be fussy for several hours, or
he may be sleepy and difficult to awaken for feeding.)
Following circumcision of a newborn, the nurse provides
instructions to his or her parents regarding
postcircumcision care. The nurse should tell the parents
to:
A. Apply topical anesthetics with each diaper change.
B. Expect a yellowish exudate to cover the glans after the
first 24 hours.
C. Change the diaper every 2 hours and cleanse the site
with soap and water or baby wipes.
D. Apply constant pressure to the site if bleeding occurs
and call the physician. - Answer-B.
(Topical anesthetics are applied before the circumcision.
Infant-comforting techniques are generally sufficient
following the procedure. Parents should be taught that a
yellow exudate will develop over the glans and should not
be removed. The diaper is changed frequently, but the site
, 4|Page
is cleansed with warm water only since soap and baby
wipes can cause pain/burning and irritation at the site.
Intermittent pressure is applied if bleeding occurs.)
An infant boy was born just a few minutes ago. The nurse
is conducting the initial assessment. Part of the
assessment includes the Apgar score. The Apgar
assessment is performed:
a. Only if the newborn is in obvious distress.
b. Once by the obstetrician, just after the birth.
c. At least twice, 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth.
d. Every 15 minutes during the newborn's first hour after
birth. - Answer-C
(Apgar scoring is performed at 1 minute and 5 minutes
after birth. Scoring may continue at 5-minute intervals if
the infant is in distress and requires resuscitation efforts.)
As part of Standard Precautions, nurses wear gloves
when handling the newborn. The chief reason is:
a. To protect the baby from infection.
