Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Because the incision line for a pyloric stenosis repair is near the diaper area, the child is at risk for developing a surgical infection. The diagnosis risk for infection of incision line is the most appropriate during the immediate postoperative period. Anxiety might be appropriate after the immediate postoperative period has passed. There is no enough information to determine if the infant is being given excessive fluid or if the infant is experiencing ineffective tissue perfusion.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
In a medical home a centralized database contains all pertinent information. All insurance including Medicaid is accepted in the medical home and ambulatory care is provided. Continuity of care is also provided from infancy to adolescence.
