Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Assisting the client to turn at least every 2 hours is the most appropriate intervention for the nurse to include in the plan of care to reduce the risk of integumentary complications. Turning the client every 8 hours will not reduce the risk of integumentary complications. Encouraging exercise improves muscle tone, and encouraging coughing and deep breathing reduces the risk of respiratory complications, but neither helps reduce the risk of integumentary complications.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The sudden onset of apnea, bradycardia, and metabolic acidosis in a premature infant with a central line in place who had previously been growing and doing well is suggestive of bacterial sepsis rather than hyperbilirubinemia, hypoglycemia, or intracranial hemorrhage.
