Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goal applicable to this situation is to reduce or eliminate vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, pertussis, and varicella. Dental care, socialization, and home safety are not 2020 National Health Goals.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A When hypocalcemia is present, neonates may display twitching, tremors,
irritability, jitteriness, electrocardiographi c changes, and, rarely, seizures.
B An infant with hypothyroidism may exhibit skin mottling, a large fontanel, a
large tongue, hypotonia, slow reflexes, a distended abdomen, prolonged
jaundice, lethargy, constipation, feeding problems, and coldness to touch.
C Hypoglycemia causes the neonate to exhibit jitteriness, poor feeding, lethargy,
seizures, respiratory alterations including apnea, hypotonia, high-pitched cry,
bradycardia, cyanosis, and temperature instability.
D Infants with PKU may initially have digestive problems with vomiting, and they
may have a musty or mousy odor to the urine, infantile eczema, hypertonia, and
hyperactive behavior.
