Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. Physical or chemical skin irritation can occur if the appliance is changed too frequently, such as with each wet diaper.
2. Adhesive enhancers should be avoided on the skin of newborns. Their skin layers are thin, and removal of the appliance can strip off the skin. Also, adhesive contains latex, and its constant use is not advised due to risk of latex allergy development.
3. Skin irritation around the stoma should be assessedit might indicate leakage.
4. Bleeding usually is attributable to excessive cleaning.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. Burping after 30 cc would indicate tolerance of the feeding.
2. The presence of bowel sounds would indicate tolerance of the feeding.
3. Passing gas would be an expected finding following a pyloromyotomy, and would indicate tolerance of the feeding.
4. An infant is not tolerating feedings after a pyloromyotomy if emesis is present.
