Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
One risk factor for undescended testes is intrauterine lead exposure. In this country, the most common source of lead is from lead-based paint in older homes (built prior to 1978), lead-contaminated house dust and soil, and vinyl products. The nurse should assess for sources of lead exposure. The other questions are not relevant.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A baby born at this gestation can survive because the lungs are capable of breathing air, they produce surfactant, and the central nervous system can regulate body temperature and direct rhythmic breathing. Many obstacles remain for a baby born this early, and survival is not guaranteed. The other statements are inaccurate.
