Concerning lab tests and diagnostic tests in the hospital after birth, nurses should be aware that:
 
  1. all states test for phenylketonuria (PKU), hypothyroidism, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell disease.
  2. federal law prohibits newborn genetic testing without parental consent.
  3. if genetic screening was done before the infant was 24 hours old, it should be re-peated at age 1 to 2 weeks.
  4. hearing screening is now mandated by federal law.
