单项选择题
Which finding is considered normal in a neonate during the first few days after birth ?()
A.Weight loss of 25%.
B.Birth weight of 2,000 to 2,500 g.
C.Weight loss then return to birth weight.
D.Weight gain of 25%.
答案
参考答案:C
解析:
Babies lose approximately 10% of their birth weight during the first 3 or 4 days, due to the loss of excess extracellular fluids and meconium as well as limited oral intake, until breast-feeding is established. Return to birth weight should occur within 10 days after birth. Normal birth weights range from 2,700 to 4,000g.
