Mild tremors noted when awake.
Breastfeeding every 3 to 5 hr for 5 to 10 min.
Birth parent reports nipple discomfort throughout the feeding.
When recognizing cues, the nurse should identify that a temperature of 36.4° C (97.5° F) is below the
expected reference range. Hypothermia can lead to the occurrence of hypoglycemia and respiratory
distress. The newborn breastfeeding for short intervals, nipple discomfort, and a weight loss of greater
than 10% of birth weight can indicate inadequate transfer of breastmilk, which can result in
hypoglycemia. The presence of mild tremors can be a manifestation of hypoglycemia.
