Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect: The nurse should not most likely suspect that this child just wants to spend time with the nurse because the nurse is nice. This child's complaints are more indicative of signs of stress or a psychological issue.
B Incorrect: The nurse should not most likely suspect that this child is trying to get out of class because of difficulty with schoolwork.
C Incorrect: The nurse should not most likely suspect that this child has school phobia.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. The newborn's skin is not susceptible to infection due to the skin being more porous.
B Incorrect. The newborn's skin is not susceptible to infection due to the skin being thinner.
C Incorrect. The sweat glands are not associated with the risk of infection in the newborn.
