Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Omphalocele is a congenital malformation in which intra-abdominal contents herniate through the umbilical cord. The infant many lose heat through the viscera; a warmer is indicated to prevent hypothermia. The crib would not provide adequate maintenance of temperature control. The infant is NPO (nothing by mouth) preoperatively and may or may not need a bilirubin light before surgery.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: An infant is not tolerating feedings after a pyloromyotomy if emesis is present. Frequent burping, irritability, and the passing of gas would be expected findings following a pyloromyotomy and would indicate tolerance of the feeding.
