Answer to Question 1

Feedback
1. The infant will not be taking in large amounts of fluids, so IV fluid maintenance will be important.
2. The infant's intestinal tract will need time to heal prior to starting feedings.
3. Pain management will be needed for healing.
4. The NG tube will help with draining gastric contents and air to decrease the risk for an upset stomach.

Answer to Question 2

4
Feedback
1. Prayer is a form of comfort, not distress.
2. Trusting in a higher power does not demonstrate distress.
3. Not agreeing with God is a decision, not a demonstration of distress.
4. Spiritual distress is any alteration in spiritual health, as described by the patient or caregiver.
