A mother who is bottle feeding her newborn asks to be discharged 24 hours post delivery, because she also has twin 2-year-old children at home. The nurse should schedule the office visit for the newborn:
1. Within 48 hours of discharge.
2. Within one week of discharge.
3. Within two weeks of discharge.
4. When the infant is 1 month old.

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Newborns discharged before 48 hours old should be seen within 48 hours of discharge. Waiting one week and/or two weeks after discharge of a 24-hour-old infant increases the chance that several common newborn conditions can go undiagnosed (e.g., jaundice, failure to gain weight). Waiting one month is too long for any infant who is discharged at 24 hours old.
Rationale 2: Newborns discharged before 48 hours old should be seen within 48 hours of discharge. Waiting one week and/or two weeks after discharge of a 24-hour-old infant increases the chance that several common newborn conditions can go undiagnosed (e.g., jaundice, failure to gain weight). Waiting one month is too long for any infant who is discharged at 24 hours old.
