A nursery nurse is attending the birth of a post-term infant. Exhibits Drag words from the choices below to fill in each blank in the following sentence. Upon review of the medical record, the nurse should determine the infant newborn is at risk for developing dropdown and dropdown.

Rationale for Correct Choices: • Macrosomia: Post-term infants (≥ 42 weeks) are at higher risk of excessive birth weight due to prolonged nutrient exposure in utero. Larger infants are prone to birth trauma, shoulder dystocia, and hypoglycemia after delivery. • Meconium aspiration syndrome: Thick green amniotic fluid indicates meconium passage in utero, likely due to fetal stress from prolonged labor and late decelerations. Inhalation of meconium-stained fluid at birth can cause airway obstruction, chemical pneumonitis, and respiratory distress. Rationale for Incorrect Choices: • Bronchopulmonary dysplasia: This chronic lung disease is typically a complication in premature infants requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation and high oxygen concentrations, not in post-term newborns. • Intraventricular haemorrhage: This complication is primarily seen in premature infants with fragile germinal matrix vessels; it is uncommon in term or post-term neonates unless there is severe birth trauma or asphyxia.
