A nurse in an urgent care clinic is collecting admission history from a client who is at 16 weeks of gestation and has bacterial vaginosis. The nurse should recognize that which of the following clinical findings are associated with this infection?

- A. Clothing the newborn in light cotton is not recommended because it can block the light from reaching the skin, which is necessary for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia through phototherapy.
- B. Checking the newborn's temperature every 8 hours is not frequent enough; during phototherapy, it is important to monitor the newborn's temperature more frequently to ensure they do not become too cold or too warm as a result of the therapy.
- C. Administering water between feedings is not recommended as it can interfere with the newborn's feeding schedule and nutrition; breast milk or formula provides adequate hydration unless otherwise indicated by a healthcare provider.
- D. Placing the newborn 45 cm (18 in) from the light source is the correct intervention. This distance allows for optimal exposure to the light while ensuring the safety and comfort of the newborn, as recommended in clinical guidelines for effective phototherapy.

A. The wall suction setting does not directly indicate the functioning of the NG tube.

B. Greenish-yellow drainage fluid may indicate the presence of bile in the stomach, suggesting

that the NG tube is not adequately draining gastric contents, which could indicate a malfunction.

C. An aspirate pH of 3 indicates gastric acidity, which is expected in the stomach and does not necessarily indicate a problem with NG tube function.

D. Abdominal rigidity may suggest intra-abdominal pathology but does not specifically indicate NG tube dysfunction.
