Correct Answer is ["B","E"]
Explanation
A. Maternal Rh factor – The mother is O positive. Rh incompatibility is not a concern here because both mother and newborn are likely Rh positive, and no information suggests Rh incompatibility.
B. Gestational age – The newborn was born at 36 weeks and 4 days, which is considered late preterm and places the infant at increased risk for complications such as respiratory distress, jaundice, hypoglycemia, and feeding difficulties.
C. Apgar scores – Scores of 7 at 1 minute and 8 at 5 minutes are within the normal range and not indicative of distress or a complication risk.
D. Weight – A birth weight of 3,062 g (6 lb 12 oz) is appropriate for gestational age and not a risk factor.
E. Type of birth – Operative vaginal birth using a vacuum extractor increases the risk for complications like cephalohematoma, which is noted in the assessment (firm, edematous scalp area with ecchymosis not crossing suture lines). This can contribute to jaundice.
F. Length – A length of 48 cm (19 in) is appropriate for gestational age and not a risk factor.
