A nurse is caring for a female newborn with an apparent anorectal malformation. The nurse should assess the infant for which of the following other potential finding?

A. A soft, non-tender abdomen would be normal and not suggestive of any specific pathology. B. A normal appearing perineum would not be expected with an anorectal malformation, which typically presents with a visible defect in the perineum. C. Meconium leakage via the vagina or urethra is a possible sign of an anorectal malformation. This could occur if there is a fistula connecting the gastrointestinal tract to the urinary or genital tract. D. Poor sucking reflex is not directly associated with anorectal malformations but may occur in certain other conditions, such as central nervous system issues.
