HESI Maternity - Blogs Sample Questions

Which of the following statements about examination of the head, face, and neck of the newborn is least accurate?

Correct Answer:
scalp edema is a localized collection of blood under the dura mater.
to address the question regarding which statement about the examination of the head, face, and neck of the newborn is least accurate, we need to evaluate the correctness of each statement provided.

the first statement, "the palate should not be high-arched or clefted," is accurate. during the examination of a newborn, the palate should be inspected to ensure it is not clefted, as a cleft palate can lead to feeding problems, and potential issues with speech development and ear infections. a high-arched palate might also be noted as it can be associated with certain genetic conditions.

the statement, "scalp edema is a localized collection of blood under the dura mater," is inaccurate. scalp edema in newborns, also known as caput succedaneum, is actually an accumulation of serosanguineous fluid under the scalp's skin, above the periosteum. this condition is characterized by swelling that can cross suture lines because it is not confined by them.

on the other hand, cephalohematoma, which is often confused with scalp edema, is indeed a localized collection of blood, but it occurs between the skull periosteum and the bone, and therefore does not cross suture lines as the periosteum is attached to the sutures.

the next statement, "subconjunctival hemorrhages are a common finding as a result of the birth process," is accurate. these hemorrhages appear as red patches on the whites of the eyes and are caused by the rupture of small blood vessels during delivery. they are benign and usually resolve on their own without treatment.

lastly, "the naris is patent if there is air movement through it when the mouth and other naris are closed," is also accurate. this simple test checks for nasal patency, which is important to ensure that the newborn can breathe properly through each nostril, as newborns are primarily nasal breathers.

therefore, the least accurate statement among those provided is: "scalp edema is a localized collection of blood under the dura mater." this statement should describe scalp edema (caput succedaneum) as an accumulation of fluid under the skin of the scalp that crosses suture lines, distinct from cephalohematoma, which involves a collection of blood under the periosteum that is confined by suture lines.
