ANS: A
Babies born of mothers who have used amphetamines during pregnancy may exhibit hypoglycemia, sweating, poor visual tracking, lethargy, and difficulty feeding. The nurse would conclude that the baby may be at risk for hypoglycemia because he or she has other manifestations of this syndrome and should check the blood sugar. If low, the blood glucose can be treated quickly. The other options may be valuable, but do not take priority over this assessment.
