Answer to Question 1

pain
These are all nonverbal cues to newborn pain. Other signs include moaning, whimpering,
tense rigid muscles, increased or decreased heart rate, apnea, increased blood pressure,
sleep-wake pattern changes, or display of a cry face. The nurse should discuss the
infant's response to pain with his provider to ensure that appropriate medications are
available. Ordered medications should always be given before any painful procedure.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse is evaluating the patient's comprehension of teaching regarding obtaining rest for several hours every afternoon. The statement about lying down after lunch and not getting up until time to prepare dinner indicates the patient understands the teaching. The other statements indicate that additional teaching is necessary because going to sleep earlier each evening, lying in bed longer each morning, and resting before lunch and after dinner do not demonstrate understanding of the health care provider's instructions.
