Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale:In near-drowning cases the nurse should be nonjudgmental and provide a forum for parents to express guilt. Telling the parents to watch the child more closely or asking them why they let the child almost drown is judgmental.Saying the child will be fine may not be true. The nurse should reassure the parents that the child is receiving all possible medical treatment. Intervention

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. An appropriate weight gain for a woman of normal weight before pregnancy would be 25-35 pounds.
