Answer to Question 1

Active sleep
In the active sleep state the infant responds easily to the sounds he or she hears. If the infant is already awake, it may be more difficult to identify movements and cues as responses to sounds from the hearing test.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The nurse should provide privacy and confidentiality when obtaining the health history and performing a physical examination. The nurse should identify a private location such as the bedroom. The kitchen, porch, and living room are not private areas for this assessment.
