Circumcision care

Circumcision care ( 4 Questions)

A nurse is assisting the practitioner with a circumcision using the Mogen clamp method.

What should the nurse do during the procedure?



Correct Answer: A

The correct answer is choice A. Comfort and maintain the newborn’s safety by holding his hands and legs securely. This is because the Mogen clamp method does not directly protect the glans during the procedure and requires the safe placement of the clamp to avoid injuring the glans.

Therefore, the nurse should help immobilize the newborn and prevent any sudden movements that could cause harm.

Choice B is wrong because monitoring the newborn’s vital signs and oxygen saturation continuously is not necessary for this procedure. The Mogen clamp method is fast and does not leave a foreign body at the circumcision site.

Choice C is wrong because applying a topical anesthetic cream to the penis 30 minutes before the procedure is not effective for pain relief. The Mogen clamp method requires local anesthesia, such as lidocaine injection or dorsal penile nerve block.

Choice D is wrong because providing oral sucrose solution to the newborn using a pacifier or syringe is not sufficient for pain management. The Mogen clamp method requires local anesthesia, such as lidocaine injection or dorsal penile nerve block. Oral sucrose solution can be used as an adjunctive measure, but not as a sole intervention.
