Answer to Question 1

C
The elevated blood glycose levels that diffused across the placenta before birth abruptly end and cause hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia is not the issue with this neonate.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Because of the increased pulmonary congestion, impaired gas exchange would be an appropriate nursing diagnosis.
2. Ventricular septal defects do not cause deficient fluid volume.
3. Ventricular septal defects do not cause pain.
4. Ventricular septal defects do not cause fever.
