Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

Immunoglobulin G is the only immunoglobulin to cross the placental barrier and provide immune protection to the neonate. The baby does not need to be isolated. The baby's temperature will be checked routinely and evaluated for signs of infection. This response would be inappropriate.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

A lack of protein prolongs inflammation and impairs the healing process. The nurse should encourage high-protein food choices in the diet. If carbohydrates are limited, the body will use protein to meet caloric needs. This would impair healing. Vitamin E is not identified as a vitamin to promote wound healing. Restricting caloric intake could further compromise this patient and delay healing.
