Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, F
Signs of intraventricular hemorrhage include sudden decrease in oxygen saturation, sudden deterioration in condition, hypotonia, bradycardia, hyperglycemia, and metabolic acidosis. Additional signs include tense, bulging anterior fontanel; significant decrease in hematocrit level; seizures; and apnea.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Moist, flushed skin is not a sign of dehydration. Dry mucous membranes are signs of mild, not severe, dehydration.
2. Low specific gravity of urine and pale skin color are not signs of dehydration.
3. Two signs of severe dehydration are depressed fontanelles and capillary refill time greater than 3 seconds.
4. High specific gravity of urine and moist mucous membranes are not signs of severe dehydration.
