4. Anticipating that the body will be able to have a high exercise level within one week of practice staring.
5. Instructions on hydration.

Question 2

The purpose of administering surfactant to a preterm neonate is:

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
1. Preterm neonates do have some surfactant in the lungs, but not enough to keep the alveoli open for a long period of time.
2. Surfactant is the lubricant in the lungs that allows all for alveoli to remain moist and prevents them from collapsing.
3. The diaphragm is outside of the lung tissue and does not receive surfactant.
4. A preterm neonate's needs do not differ from those of an older child.
