During an assessment of a newborn, the nurse palpates the fontanels to determine their status. Which finding would be expected when assessing the fontanels?

Rationale: A. Sunken fontanels may indicate dehydration and are not a normal finding. B. Soft and flat fontanels are expected in a healthy newborn, indicating normal intracranial pressure and hydration status. C. Tense and bulging fontanels can be a sign of increased intracranial pressure or infection such as meningitis. D. Hard and immobile fontanels are abnormal and may suggest underlying pathology such as craniosynostosis.
