Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Feedback:
Care for an infant with bladder exstrophy includes covering the area with a sterile, clear, nonadherent dressing and irrigating the bladder surface with sterile saline after each diaper change to prevent infection, assisting with insertion and monitoring drainage from suprapubic catheter, administering prescribed antibiotic therapy, and preparing the parents and infant for surgery within 48 hours after birth.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Some degree of depression is present in most adolescents because they are not only losing their parents at this time as they grow apart from them but they are also losing their carefree childhood. Feeling sad is an indication of depression. Having siblings, performing in the school band, and being on the honor roll are not identified as factors for the patient to reattempt suicide.
