If an infant of a diabetic mother is admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, the nurse should EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF MOTHER GLUCOSE LEVEL IN THE INFANT BY PERFORMING A BLOOD TEST ON THE NEWBORN. This test is known as Heel Stick Blood Test. It is used to determine the blood glucose level in the infant.
