问题 单项选择题

A nurse in the nursery is preparing to perform phenylketonuria (PKU) testing. Which neonate is ready for the nurse to test ?()

A.A 3-day-old neonate who has been fed IV since birth.

B.A 2-day-old neonate who has been breast-fed.

C.A 1-day-old neonate receiving formula.

D.A breast-fed neonate being discharged within 24 hours of birth.

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

To test for PKU, a neonate must have had a sufficient intake of phenylalanine through the ingestion of either formula or breast milk for at least 2 days. A neonate who has been receiving IV fluids and hasn't yet received breast milk or formula isn't ready to be tested for PKU. A neonate who is discharged within 24 hours of delivery will need to see the physician for PKU testing after receiving formula or breast milk for 48 hours.
