Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The upright hold and patting or rubbing the back is a commonly used technique that causes air in the baby's stomach to rise or bubble upward. The other techniques mentioned would not help the baby expel swallowed air.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
By asking the parents about their customs in a nonjudgmental way, the nurse shows respect for them and their culture. If a practice is harmful, the nurse should try to explain the consequences to them. If it is not harmful, she should accept it.
