A nurse is preforming a newborn assessment. Which assessment finding will cause the nurse to intervene immediately?

A. Newborn reflexes (Moro, rooting, grasp) are crucial indicators of neurological function. Absence may suggest brain injury or CNS dysfunction and requires urgent evaluation. B. Acrocyanosis (blue hands/feet) is normal in newborns for the first 24–48 hours due to immature circulation. C. Molding (misshapen head from birth canal pressure) is normal and resolves within days. D. A soft, slightly protuberant abdomen is typical in newborns due to weak abdominal muscles.
