Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
Cradling the baby with extremities flexed helps with ventilation and neuroevolutive development, and helps prevent flattening of the occiput. While the baby is being warmed, the nurse monitors the baby's temperature continuously with a skin probe. Repositioning every 4 hours helps prevent skin breakdown. The skin of the preterm infant is fragile so bathing is not done daily and is done without soap products. Premature infants need to be weighed daily.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D
High-dose corticosteroids can lead to hyperglycemia. A woman with uncontrolled hyperglycemia is at risk of having a large-for-gestational-age newborn or a newborn with hypothermia. Maternal hyperglycemia does not lead to cold stress, intrauterine growth restriction, or polycythemia.
