Answer to Question 1

2
Hereditary spherocytosis is also known as congenital hemolytic anemia. This anemia begins in utero and manifests as anemia and hyperbilirubinemia. A client with Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase may develop jaundice later in life but not upon birth. Thalassemia and sickle-cell anemia do not present with hyperbilirubinemia upon birth.

Answer to Question 2

3
Interventions for a client who has been extubated include providing oral care immediately after extubation. Arterial blood gases should be analyzed within 30 to 60 minutes after extubation. The client should be encouraged to deep breathe, cough, and turn in bed frequently to mobilize secretions. Hoarseness should resolve within a few days and not in 3 months.
