Answer to Question 1

B
The anus is inspected to see if it is open and if the anal sphincter has good muscle tone. Nonpatent, or imperforate, anus must be considered if the newborn has not had a stool in the first 24 hours.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
To combat the feelings of loneliness and support the family structure, the family can plan to have one meal a day together, such as dinner, in the same room. A cell phone, intercom system, or television set may or may not help the adolescent with feelings of loneliness.
