Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D, E, F
Nursing interventions include continuous monitoring of the infant's cardiac and respiratory status, maintaining a thermoneutral environment, administering oxygen as ordered, administering medications as prescribed, offering comfort measures to minimize crying when it precipitates cyanosis, and gavage feeding if necessary to decrease the workload of the heart. In addition, the nurse should keep the parents informed of the newborn's condition and medical management, and provide opportunities for bonding and early attachments.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Teenagers are socially and cognitively at the developmental stage where the
health care provider can teach them.
B Teenagers are more interested in immediate health care needs than in long-term
needs.
C Teenagers are at the developmental level that allows them to receive
explanations about health care directly from the nurse.
D Problems that teenagers identify and are interested in are typically the problems
that they are the most willing to address. Confidentiality is important to
adolescents. Adolescents prefer to confer privately (without parents) with the
nurse and health care provider.
