SECTION 1: NEWBORN ASSESSMENT &
NORMAL FINDINGS
Q1. Which assessment finding is consistent
with a male infant born at 38 weeks (full-
term)?

,A. Peeling skin ✓
B. Absent vernix
C. Minimal lanugo
D. Undescended testes
Correct ☑VERIFIED ANSWER: A. Peeling
skin
Rationale: A full-term newborn (37-40
weeks) often has dry, peeling skin. The
presence of lanugo (fine hair) is more
common in preterm infants, and vernix
caseosa decreases as pregnancy progresses
toward term. Undescended testes are an
abnormal finding requiring follow-up .


Q2. What is a normal finding on a baby
born at 29 weeks (preterm)?

,A. Minimal vernix
B. Thin, long extremities
C. Large genitals for its size
D. Loose, transparent skin ✓
Correct ☑VERIFIED ANSWER: D. Loose,
transparent skin
Rationale: Preterm infants have immature
skin that is thin, translucent, and loose
with little subcutaneous fat. They also
typically have abundant vernix and lanugo
covering their bodies .


Q3. A nurse is assessing a newborn. Which
finding is a priority for the nurse to follow
up on?

, A. RR of 49
B. Chin quivering
C. HR 95 ✓
D. Milia on face
Correct ☑VERIFIED ANSWER: C. HR 95
Rationale: Normal newborn heart rate is
110-160 bpm. A rate of 95 bpm is
bradycardic and requires immediate
follow-up. A respiratory rate of 49 is within
normal limits (30-60 breaths/min). Chin
quivering and milia are normal findings in
newborns .


Q4. What is the correct technique when
suctioning a newborn with a bulb syringe?
