A nurse is caring for a newborn and calculating the Apgar score. At 1 min after delivery, the following findings are noted: heart rate of 110/min; slow, weak cry, some flexion of extremities; grimace in response to suctioning of the nares; body pink in color with blue extremities.

Calculate the newborn's Apgar score.

A. Glucose

Rationale:

A. Glucose monitoring is essential for clients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) due to the increased risk of insulin resistance and diabetes.

B. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels are not typically monitored specifically for PCOS.

C. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels may be assessed if there is suspicion of thyroid dysfunction but are not routinely monitored for PCOS.

D. Liver function tests are not typically indicated for routine monitoring in PCOS unless there are specific signs or symptoms of liver dysfunction.

A. "I'll let my baby drain one breast at each feeding."

Rationale:

A. "I'll let my baby drain one breast at each feeding." This statement indicates understanding because allowing the baby to empty one breast at each feeding helps in relieving breast engorgement by effectively removing milk. It promotes better milk flow and prevents overproduction.

B. Feeding the baby every 2 hours is a common recommendation, but it may not specifically address breast engorgement management.

C. Cold compresses can help reduce discomfort from engorgement, but they should be applied after feeding, not before.

D. While herbal teas can sometimes provide relief for engorgement, this statement does not address the direct management of engorgement through breastfeeding techniques.
