ATI Maternity
Version-1
The client should change the newborn's diaper and examine the circumcision site at least every 4 hr.
Use baby wipes containing alcohol to cleanse the penis with each diaper change.
Baby wipes containing alcohol can irritate the skin and should be avoided until the circumcision has healed, which usually takes 5 to 6 days. During each diaper change, the penis should be washed gently with warm water and have petroleum jelly applied to the glans.
Remove yellow exudate daily using a warm, wet washcloth.
The client should not attempt to remove any yellow exudate from the circumcision site because it is part of the healing process, which begins within 24 hr and continues for 2 to 3 days. Disrupting it can cause pain and bleeding.
1) A nurse is teaching about effective breastfeeding to a client who is 3 days postpartum. Which of the following information should the nurse include?
"Your milk will replace colostrum in about 10 days."
The nurse should inform the client that milk production occurs 3 or 4 days postpartum. The breasts will feel firm and heavy. The client should continue to feed the newborn on demand during this period.
"Your breasts should feel firm after breastfeeding."
The nurse should inform the client that her breasts should feel softer after feeding. This change indicates that the newborn has emptied the breasts of milk.
"Your newborn should urinate at least 10 times per day."
The nurse should inform the client that the newborn should void six to eight times per day. The newborn should also have at least three stools per day. It is not uncommon for breastfed newborns to have a stool with each feeding.
