Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) newborns are at the lowest risk for any problems. AGA characterizes approximately 80 of newborns and describes a newborn with a normal length, weight, head circumference, and body mass index. The other categories all have an increased risk of complications.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The mother is having difficulty understanding the principles of toilet training. The diagnosis of deficient parental knowledge about toilet training is the most appropriate for the nurse to use to guide instruction for the mother. The child is not experiencing total urinary incontinence. The child does not have an excess in fluid volume. The mother is not demonstrating ineffective coping.
