Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following statements regarding the newborn screening is true. Is it answer choice. A it identifies genetic and metabolic conditions that affect a child's long term health or survival. Answer choice B Children can achieve their full potential and avoid death or disability through early detection, diagnosis and treatment. Answer choice C it includes blood spot screening, pulse, oxy Mery, screening, and hearing screening or answer choice. D all of the above.

Making answer choice D all of the above the correct answer. Since we know that newborn screening involves the screening of newborn to look for serious health related conditions and that it identifies genetic and metabolic conditions that affect the long term health and survival of the newborn.
