Answer to Question 1

1,3,4,5
Rationale 1: Tremors are the obvious clinical sign of hypocalcemia.
Rationale 2: Hypoglycemia is often evident rather than hyperglycemia.
Rationale 3: Hyperbilirubinemia is caused by slightly decreased extracellular fluid volume, which increases the hematocrit level.
Rationale 4: Respiratory distress syndrome occurs when insulin antagonizes the cortisol-induced stimulation of lecithin synthesis that is necessary for lung maturation.
Rationale 5: Trauma can occur during labor and birth from shoulder dystocia.

Answer to Question 2

3
Explanation: 3. Episodes of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia would be a high-risk factor for a client with pre-existing diabetes.
