A newborn with erythroblastosis fetalis is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The infant's bilirubin level is 18 mg/dL at 12 hours of age, and phototherapy has been initiated. Which nursing intervention is the highest priority for this infant?
1Maintain strict intake and output monitoring every 2 hours
2Position the infant prone to maximize phototherapy exposure
3Monitor for signs of kernicterus and neurological changes✓ 정답
4Encourage frequent breastfeeding to promote bilirubin elimination
해설
Monitoring for kernicterus is the highest priority because severe hyperbilirubinemia can cause permanent neurological damage. Other interventions are important but do not address the most critical complication.
