An infant weighing 4.1 kg was born 2 hours ago at 37 weeks of gestation. The infant appears chubby with a flushed complexion and is very tremulous. What are the tremors most likely the result of?

The question is incorrect as it does not have the option which are:

a) Birth injury

b) Hypocalcemia

c) Hypoglycemia

d) Seizures

Answer:

Neonatal Hypoglycemia

Explanation:

The neonatal hypoglycemia refers to a condition which can be characterised by the low level of blood glucose than the average infant requires.

There could be many factors responsible for the hypoglycemia like when more insulin is produced, more glucose is absorbed or when the baby is born early.

In the given question since the baby is born in 37th week of the gestation, therefore, the child could not have received enough glucose and thus cause neonatal hypoglycemia.

Thus, Neonatal Hypoglycemia is the correct answer.
