Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Because the actual amount of food eaten daily varies, the parents should be instructed to place a small amount of food on a plate and allow their child to eat it and ask for more rather than serve a large portion the child cannot finish. Cleaning a plate gives a child a feeling of independent functioning, whereas leaving food uneaten suggests parents expected something more. Allowing self-feeding is a major way to both strengthen independence in a toddler and improve the amount of food consumed. Most toddlers insist on feeding themselves and generally will resist eating if a parent insists on feeding them. An individual child may react to repeated attempts at being fed by refusing to eat at all. The child does not need discipline.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Oxygen therapy has been linked the pathogenesis of retinopathy of prematurity and is associated with the duration of oxygen use rather than the concentration of oxygen. Therefore, the nurse monitors the newborn's oxygen therapy closely. Metabolic acidosis may occur due to anaerobic metabolism used for heat production. Infection may occur for numerous reasons, but they are unrelated to oxygen therapy. Cold stress results from problems due to the preterm newborn's inadequate supply of brown fat, decreased muscle tone, and large body surface area.
