A nurse is collecting data from a newborn who was born 24 hr ago. Which of the following images should the nurse identify as an indication that the newborn has erythema toxicum?
Explanation & Rationale
Rationale: A. This image shows a newborn with normal skin tone and no visible skin lesions. There are no signs of erythema, pustules, or macules that would suggest erythema toxicum. B. This image displays multiple small, erythematous macules and papules, especially on the face. These are classic signs of erythema toxicum neonatorum, a common and harmless rash seen in the first days of life. C. The newborn in this image has generally red skin, which could be due to normal newborn circulation changes or mild erythema, but it lacks the distinctive papular or pustular rash pattern seen in erythema toxicum.
