Answer to Question 1

C
Respiratory rates between 60 and 70 that are not the result of crying and that persist need further examination. A 10-second period of apnea is a normal finding, as irregular apneic periods may last up to 15 seconds. Abdominal respiration is the normal breathing pattern for a neonate.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
The nurse should emphasize that weight-bearing exercises increase bone density and strength. Calcium intake, facilitated by vitamin C, is also related to bone health. Avoiding alcohol is not associated with the prevention of osteoporosis, nor is controlling diabetes or regular cancer screening..
