A nurse is providing teaching to the parents of a newborn about newborn genetic screening. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?

A) "A nurse will draw blood from your baby's inner elbow.": This statement is misleading, as newborn screening is typically performed using a heel prick to collect blood from the heel rather than drawing blood from the inner elbow, which is not standard practice for infants. B) "This test should be performed after your baby is 24 hours old.": This is correct. Newborn genetic screening is ideally conducted after the baby is at least 24 hours old to ensure accurate results, especially for metabolic conditions that may not be detectable earlier. C) "This test will be repeated when your baby is 2 months old.": This statement is inaccurate. While some follow-up tests may be conducted, routine newborn screening is typically not repeated at 2 months unless there are abnormal results from the initial screening. D) "Your baby will be given 2 ounces of water to drink prior to the test.": This statement is incorrect, as newborns are usually not given water before the screening test. The test is performed without prior hydration, and feeding may not be necessary right before the heel prick.
