A nurse is assessing a newborn who has neonatal abstinence syndrome. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Platelet count 90,000/mm3: Sign of Potential Worsening Condition - A decreased platelet count may indicate worsening preeclampsia and a risk of developing HELLP syndrome or thrombocytopenia.

Hematuria: Sign of Potential Worsening Condition - Hematuria suggests potential kidney involvement, which is a serious complication of preeclampsia, indicating a worsening condition. Positive clonus: Sign of Potential Worsening Condition - Positive clonus is a neurological sign associated with preeclampsia and indicates hyperreflexia, which can lead to seizures if untreated. Proteinuria 2+: Sign of Potential Worsening Condition - Increased proteinuria indicates ongoing kidney dysfunction, which is a worsening sign of preeclampsia.

Leukorrhea: Sign of Potential Improvement - Leukorrhea, an increase in vaginal discharge, may indicate a reduction in cervical mucus plug, which is a normal finding in late pregnancy.

BUN 40 mg/dL: Sign of Potential Worsening Condition - Elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels indicate impaired kidney function, which is a worsening sign of preeclampsia and can lead to complications such as acute kidney injury.

A.

Rationale:

A. Maternal cytomegalovirus can be transmitted to the newborn through contact with infected bodily fluids, including saliva and urine.

B. Airborne precautions are not necessary for cytomegalovirus, as it is primarily transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, not through airborne droplets.

C. There is no prophylactic treatment with acyclovir for cytomegalovirus; treatment options are limited and typically reserved for severe cases.

D. Lesions are not typically visible on the mother's genitalia with cytomegalovirus; the virus is often asymptomatic or causes mild symptoms in healthy adults.
