Answer to Question 1

C
The findings should be recorded, with a notation that the neonate was crying and then rechecked after the neonate has quieted. It is not necessary to notify the pediatrician and prepare an IV setup because an increased heart rate accompanies crying in the neonate normally.

Answer to Question 2

C
Increasing exercise in conjunction with dietary changes and stress management are modalities encouraged to help decrease the manifestations of PMS. Taking prescribed estrogen supplements will only aggravate PMS. PMS is not related to protein intake. Limiting complex carbohydrates and fats will not have an impact on PMS manifestations.
