Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context: Phototherapy is a common treatment for neonatal jaundice, which involves exposing the baby to a type of light that helps break down excess bilirubin in the blood.
Identify potential adverse effects: Phototherapy can lead to several side effects, including dehydration, due to increased insensible water loss from the skin.
Consider the options: Evaluate each option provided (Hypertension, Dehydration, Hyperglycemia, Hypothermia) in the context of phototherapy.
Analyze dehydration: Recognize that dehydration is a significant risk during phototherapy because the neonate may lose more water through the skin and may not be able to compensate for this loss.
Conclude with monitoring: Emphasize the importance of monitoring the neonate's fluid balance and ensuring adequate hydration to prevent dehydration during phototherapy treatment.
