The 13-year-old female patient presents to the clinic in January to begin the vaccine series for human papillomavirus. The nurse instructs the patient’s mother to schedule an appointment for the next vaccine in the series during which month at the earliest?

The 36-hour-old neonate who was born at 37 weeks gestation to a G3P2 mother has yet to pass meconium. The baby was born by cesarean section due to refractory preeclampsia with severe features. The mother reports the baby has been breastfeeding well after a slow first 12 hours. Upon assessment, the baby appears well with good tone and responsiveness. The baby’s anus is patent and the abdomen is soft and rounded; bowel sounds present. The mother denies emesis in the baby. An abdominal x-ray is obtained, which is normal. The nurse informs the mother that which test will be performed next? 

During the shift assessment of the healthy, full-term neonate born 24 hours ago to the 25-year-old G1P1 mother who had an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery, the nurse notes the urethral meatus is on the ventral part of the penile shaft. The assessment is also notable for wide-spaced, downward-slanting eyes that resemble the baby’s father. The baby is pink, well-perfused, and breathing comfortably with normal heart and lung sounds. The mother reports the child is breastfeeding every 2 hours and has voided and stooled several times. Which additional assessment is most important?
