A nurse is performing an assessment of a newborn's Babinski reﬂex. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Flexion of the forearm.

Downward curl of the toes.

Dorsiﬂexion of the great toe.

Extension of the leg.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

The Babinski reﬂex, also known as the plantar reﬂex, is a normal reﬂex in infants
that occurs when the sole of the foot is stroked from heel to toe.

In response to this stimulus, the big toe moves upward or toward the top surface of the foot and the other toes fan out.

Choice A is not an answer because ﬂexion of the forearm is not a response to stimulation of the foot.
Choice B is not an answer because downward curl of the toes is not a response
to stimulation of the foot.
Choice D is not an answer because extension of the leg is not a response to
stimulation of the foot.
