Which of the following information should the nurse include?
"Notify the provider if the end of your baby's penis appears dark red.”
"The Plastibell will be removed 4 hours after the procedure.”
"Yellow exudate will form at the surgical site in 24 hours.”
"Make sure the newborn's diaper is snug.”
The Correct Answer is C
Yellow exudate will form at the surgical site in 24 hours.
After a Plastibell circumcision, the penis might develop a yellow-ish discharge which is a normal side effect that should go away in a few days.
Choice A is incorrect because the foreskin may darken around the ring while it remains on the penis until it falls off naturally in 7-10 days.
Choice B is incorrect because the plastic ring remains on the penis until foreskin falls off naturally in 7-10 days.
Choice D is incorrect because there is no information found that suggests making sure the newborn’s diaper is snug after a Plastibell circumcision.
