Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. The newborn does not need to be NPO.
2. After a circumcision, it is important for the nurse to observe for the first voiding to evaluate for urinary obstruction related to penile injury and/or edema.
3. Gauze should not be wrapped tightly around the penis.
4. The newborn can return to the mother's room.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale:
1. Vegetarians do not eat meat or meat byproducts, and the nurse cannot force this issue.
2. Vegetables must be combined with other appropriate foods to form complete proteins.
3. The lack of meat and meat byproducts requires the client to take a dietary supplement of vitamin B12.
4. The high fiber found in vegetarian diets actually is good for the pregnant woman whose GI tract has slowed down.
