Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Stretching stories to make them seem more interesting is a phenomenon frequently encountered in preschoolers. This kind of storytelling should not be encouraged. The child should be helped to separate fact from fiction. The nurse should ask the child to say the names of the brothers the child really has. The nurse should not insult the child's counting ability. The nurse should not accuse the child of lying or making the child seem more important by having more brothers.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
If resuscitation is need, the nurse must first stabilize the newborn by drying the newborn thoroughly with a warm towel and provide warmth by placing him or her under a radiant heater to prevent rapid heat loss. Next the newborn's head is placed in a neutral position to open the airway and the airway is cleared with a bulb syringe or suction catheter. Breathing is stimulated. Often handling and rubbing the newborn with a dry towel may be all that is needed to stimulate respirations. Next ventilations and then chest compressions are done. Administration of epinephrine and/or volume expanders is the last step.
