Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale:
1. Phototherapy does not alter head circumference.
2. Breastfeeding most likely can be continued.
3. The stools do not need to be tested for blood (guaiac testing).
4. Newborns being treated for jaundice experience a fluid volume deficit due to an increase in insensible water loss and frequent loose stools.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. Because of the class III of the heart disease, this client is encouraged to get adequate rest.
2. Childbirth classes would be helpful for the client, as long as she is aware not to overexert herself.
3. Travel during the pregnancy would be based upon the tolerance of the client. However, a trip to Disney World would involve a large amount of activity, and would stress the pregnancy.
4. With the slightest of exertion, her heart rate will rise, and she will become symptomatic. Therefore, she should not establish a new exercise program.
