Assignment Task:
John and Hannah Adams have had their first child, a son, home from the hospital just 3days. John calls the pediatrician because he is worried about circumcision care. He noticed the formation of a yellow crust on the penis. Their son had a Gomco circumcision prior to leaving the hospital.

The Adamses are encouraged to express any future concerns and to continue the good care of their son.
