the nurse practitioner is evaluating a 2 day old with a history of tremors and hyperirritability in the newborn nursery. on todays exam, the neonate has hyperreflexia, tachypnea, and high - pitched cry. what history question must the nurse practitioner ask the mother?

\did you deliver vaginally or by c - section?\
\were you treated for group b strep?\
\did you test positive for chlamydia or gonorrhea during pregnancy?\
\did you take opiates or other drugs during your pregnancy?\

Explanation:

The neonate's symptoms (tremors, hyperirritability, hyperreflexia, tachypnea, high - pitched cry) are consistent with neonatal abstinence syndrome, which occurs when a mother takes opiates or other drugs during pregnancy and the neonate is withdrawing. The other questions relate to delivery method (not related to these symptoms), group B strep (infection - related, not these symptoms), and chlamydia/gonorrhea (infection - related, not these withdrawal - like symptoms). So the relevant question is about maternal drug use during pregnancy.

Answer:

"Did you take opiates or other drugs during your pregnancy?"
