A nurse is assessing a newborn following a circumcision 48 hours ago.
The nurse should identify that yellow exudate covering the newborn's glans penis indicates which of the following?
Wound infection.
Ulceration.
Exposure to urine.
Healing.
The Correct Answer is D
Choice A rationale
Wound infection usually presents with redness, warmth, and swelling, not just yellow exudate. The presence of yellow exudate alone typically does not indicate an infection.
Choice B rationale
Ulceration would involve the breakdown of skin or tissue, which is not indicated by the presence of yellow exudate. Ulcerations are more severe and painful than normal post-
circumcision healing.
Choice C rationale
Exposure to urine can cause irritation but does not typically result in yellow exudate. Proper diapering and cleaning prevent this irritation, and exudate is part of the healing process,
not a result of urine exposure.
Choice D rationale
Healing is indicated by the presence of yellow exudate, which is a normal part of the healing process post-circumcision. It signifies that the glans is recovering as expected. .

Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Only one dose of rubella immunization is necessary post-delivery, no need for a second dose in 2 weeks.
Choice B rationale
Prevention of pregnancy is recommended for at least 1 month (not 4 months) after receiving the rubella vaccine to avoid possible teratogenic effects.
Choice C rationale
An additional rubella immunization is not recommended during pregnancy as the live vaccine is contraindicated during gestation.
Choice D rationale
Rubella vaccine is safe for breastfeeding mothers, as it does not affect the safety of breast milk.
Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Irregular heartbeat (palpitations or arrhythmias) can indicate a serious cardiovascular side effect of nifedipine. It requires immediate medical attention as it could compromise
maternal and fetal circulation.
Choice B rationale
Hair loss is not a known adverse effect of nifedipine and generally does not pose a significant health risk. It is more commonly associated with hormonal changes rather than
medication side effects.
Choice C rationale
Increased salivation is not a common side effect of nifedipine. Nifedipine primarily affects the cardiovascular system rather than salivary glands.
Choice D rationale
Pause is not a recognized adverse effect related to nifedipine usage. The term itself is ambiguous and not typically associated with the pharmacological profile of nifedipine.
