Answer to Question 1

C
Burping the infant frequently during feedings is the best intervention, because air is a common factor in regurgitation. Although positioning on the right side after feedings will help prevent reflux, it is not the best answer, because this occurs after the feeding. Also, preterm infants require smaller, more frequent feedings. Giving small amounts of glucose water in between feedings does not provide nutrition, and thin liquids are more associated with regurgitation than thicker liquids.

Answer to Question 2

D

A This is a normal first-trimester complaint. Although it may be worrisome or an-noying to the mother, it usually is not an indication of a problem with the preg-nancy.
B This is a normal first-trimester complaint. Although it may be worrisome or an-noying to the mother, it usually is not an indication of a problem with the preg-nancy.
C This is a normal first-trimester complaint. Although it may be worrisome or an-noying to the mother, it usually is not an indication of a problem with the preg-nancy.
D Signs and symptoms that must be reported include severe vomiting, fever and chills, burning on urination, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and vaginal bleeding. These symptoms may be signs of potential complications of the pregnancy.
