Before a newborn is discharged, the nurse performs a heel stick to obtain blood for testing. The newborn’s mother asks why this is being done. The nurse points out that:
A.   newborn screening tests are done to detect the presence of certain abnormal health conditions before symptoms appear, enabling early intervention.
B.   this test will determine whether her infant will need medication to prevent infection.
C.   this test will check for anemia, which would necessitate supplemental use of an iron-rich formula.
D.   these tests are used to diagnose certain genetic problems so that proper treatment can be started.
