Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Elevated WBC count is not typically associated with HELLP syndrome. HELLP syndrome involves hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count.

Choice B rationale

Elevated platelet count is not a feature of HELLP syndrome. In fact, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) is a hallmark of the condition.

Choice C rationale

Decreased BUN is not a characteristic of HELLP syndrome. The syndrome primarily affects liver function and platelets.

Choice D rationale

Elevated liver enzymes are a key diagnostic feature of HELLP syndrome, reflecting liver dysfunction and damage, which is part of the condition's pathology. .

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Blue coloring of the hands and feet in an 8-hour-old newborn (acrocyanosis) is a common, benign finding as the newborn’s circulatory system adjusts post-birth. It does not require immediate intervention.

Choice B rationale

Small raised pearly spots on the nose (milia) are harmless and common in newborns. They do not necessitate any intervention.

Choice C rationale

An apical heart rate of 140 bpm is within the normal range for newborns and does not require intervention.

Choice D rationale

Nasal flaring and grunting are signs of respiratory distress in a newborn. This condition demands immediate intervention to ensure the newborn’s airway is clear and breathing is adequately supported.
