During the 1-hour assessment of the healthy, full-term neonate born to the 25-year-old G1P1 mother, the nurse notes the urethral meatus is on the ventral part of the penile shaft just proximal to the glans. The assessment is also notable for widely-spaced, downward-slanting eyes that resemble the baby’s father. The nurse provides which information to the parents?

“Unfortunately, a circumcision will not be possible for your child.”

“Reconstructive surgery will likely occur before your child’s first birthday.”

“You will have to closely monitor your child’s urine output to ensure retention does not occur.”

“Your child will be circumcised in a couple of weeks when the urethral meatus is reconstructed.”
