Besides risk for injury r/t burns secondary to phototherapy, can you think of any diagnosis for a baby with hyperbilirubinemia?Thanks!Megan

prmenrs, RN 4,565 Posts Specializes in NICU, Infection Control. Has 42 years experience. Apr 30, 2005 I would not use risk of injury due 2 photoRx. To me, the most important info to have is why the baby is jaundiced. ABO incompatability, dehydration due 2 inadequate fluid intake, true breastfeeding jaundice (a dx that is way over used).IMO, the most imp't problems are dehydration and maternal-infant attachment interruption.
