During a routine evaluation of a four-hour-old term infant, the nurse discovers the infant
is tachypneic, tachycardic, and hypotonic. The infant's temperature is 38.6ºC (101.5ºF). A
complete blood count (CBC) is ordered with the following results:
WBC 9,200
Hemoglobin 15 g/dL
Hematocrit 46%
Platelets 290,000
Lymphocytes 51%
Segmented neutrophils 41%
b) You are concerned because the infant's Band neutrophils 5%
clinical presentation is not being adequately Monocytes 3%
considered; work-up and treatment for
possible infection is indicated. You discuss the patient and CBC results with the infant's medical staff provider who
responds by saying, "The CBC is normal which reassures me that the baby is fine. I don't
think we need to do anything more than keep a close eye on the baby." Your
assessment of this response is:
a) You agree that close observation is all that is necessary at this time because the CBC
and CRP are normal, which reassures you that the infant is well.
b) You are concerned because the infant's clinical presentation is not being adequately
considered; work-up and treatment for possible infection is indicated.
c) You are concerned because you think a CBC and CRP should also be re-evaluated in
8 to 12 hours.

should be performed emergently?
evaluate for malrotation
a) A barium enema to evaluate for colonic obstruction
