A nurse is teaching a client who is experiencing infertility about clomiphene citrate. Which adverse effects should the nurse include?

Choice A rationale
The Plastibell is not removed 4 hours after the procedure. Instead, it remains on the penis until the foreskin falls off naturally in seven to 10 days.
Choice B rationale
Yellow exudate, which is a normal part of the healing process, will form at the surgical site within 24 hours after a Plastibell circumcision. Parents should be reassured that this is not a sign of infection.
Choice C rationale
The end of the baby’s penis may appear dark red immediately after the procedure, but this should improve within a few days. If the redness persists or worsens, parents should notify the provider.
Choice D rationale
Ensuring that the newborn’s diaper is snug is not specific to the Plastibell circumcision technique. While a snug diaper can help prevent leaks, it should not be so tight as to cause discomfort or restrict circulation.

Choice A rationale
Preterm newborns do not have a thick layer of brown fat. Brown fat is a type of fat that generates heat and is typically found in full-term newborns. It helps them maintain their body temperature. Preterm newborns have less brown fat, which makes them more susceptible to hypothermia.
Choice B rationale
Shivering is a mechanism used by the body to generate heat when it’s cold. However, preterm newborns cannot shiver. Their nervous systems are not fully developed, and they lack the muscle coordination necessary to shiver.
Choice C rationale
Sweating is another mechanism the body uses to regulate temperature. When the body is too warm, it produces sweat to cool down. However, preterm newborns do not sweat to cool off when they get too warm. Their sweat glands are not fully developed, and they may not be able to sweat effectively.
Choice D rationale
Preterm newborns have less muscle tone, which exposes more body surfaces to heat loss. Muscle tone provides insulation and generates heat. Because preterm newborns have less muscle mass, they have less insulation and generate less heat, making them more susceptible to hypothermia.
