Accepted Answer

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. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following statements regarding the newborn screening is true. So in order to determine which of the following statements is true, we must first recall what we know about newborn screening. And so when it comes to newborn screening, we note that it screens the newborns to look for serious health related conditions as well as it identifies genetic and metabolic conditions that affect the long term health and survival of the newborn. And the screening of the newborn includes blood spot, pulse oxy, met and hearing screening. So what are the benefits of newborns screening? Well, it allows for that early detection diagnosis and care for the child so that they can achieve full potential and avoid any kind of death or disability. And so looking at our answer choices, we can see that answer choice A says that it identifies genetic and metabolic conditions that affect the child's long term health or survival, which we know is a true statement. Answer choice B says that Children can achieve their full potential and avoid death or disability through early detection, diagnosis and treatment, which we know is also a true statement. And answer choice C says that it includes blood spot star symmetry and hearing screening, which is also a true statement. So answer choices A B and C are all true statements. 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. And it also includes blood spot pulsar symmetry and hearing screening, which all of the screening methods allows for that early detection, diagnosis and care for the newborn so that the child can achieve their full potential and avoid any kind of death or disability. And since answer choice A B and C are all true statements regarding newborn screening. Answer choice D, all of the above is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful.
