    Which assessment finding in a newborn places them at risk for physiological jaundice

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Cephalohematoma → Bleeding under the scalp leads to increased RBC breakdown, increasing bilirubin levels and jaundice risk. B. Acrocyanosis → Normal finding in newborns, unrelated to jaundice. C. Caput succedaneum → Soft tissue swelling, not associated with RBC breakdown or jaundice. D. Mongolian spots → Pigmented birthmarks, not linked to bilirubin levels.
