A nurse receives a handoff report.Which newborn should the nurse assess first?

Choice A rationaleA glucose reading of 58 mg/dL in a newborn is below the normal range (typically 40-60 mg/dL in the first hours of life, rising to 50-90 mg/dL). While it requires attention and intervention to prevent hypoglycemia, it is not as immediately life-threatening as a significantly low temperature.Choice B rationaleA temperature of 97.4°F (36.3°C) in a newborn is below the normal range (typically 97.7°F to 99.5°F or 36.5°C to 37.5°C). Hypothermia in a newborn can lead to cold stress, increased oxygen consumption, and hypoglycemia. This newborn needs immediate assessment and warming measures to prevent complications.Choice C rationaleA respiratory rate of 48 breaths per minute is within the normal range for a newborn (typically 30-60 breaths per minute). While the nurse will continue to monitor the respiratory status, this finding does not indicate immediate distress.Choice D rationaleA pulse rate of 134 beats per minute is within the normal range for a newborn (typically 110-160 beats per minute). While the nurse will continue to monitor the cardiovascular status, this finding does not indicate immediate distress. .
