ANS: A, B, C
A newborn with a fractured clavicle may have no signs, but the nurse should suspect a fracture if an infant has limited use of the affected arm, malpositioning of the arm, an asymmetric Moro reflex, or focal swelling or tenderness or cries when the arm is moved. Paralyzed hand muscles and an arm that hangs limp alongside the body are signs of Erb palsy.
