Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale:Newborns at one month of age can bring hands to their eyes and mouths,move their heads from side to side when lying on their abdomens,and attempt to lift their heads only when prone.Newborn hands are kept in tight fist position,and the newborn cannot roll over until 4 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2
Rationale: The first step in the nursing process is assessment;therefore,the nurse should assess the interactions of the parents with the newborn. Providing pamphlets to help educate the parents should be done at each appropriate office visit;however,the pamphlets would be distributed after assessment of parent needs. While the nurse should be a role model for nurturing behaviors during the office visit,this would not be the first thing the nurse performs at the office visit. While parents are informed of the infant's gains in height and weight,this activity does not take priority.
