Answer to Question 1

D
The stress theory states stress throughout the lifetime causes structural and chemical changes in the body. These changes eventually cause irreversible tissue damage.

Answer to Question 2

C
Hyperbilirubinemia is jaundice that results from excessive bilirubin and deposition of bile pigments. High levels can cause severe neural symptoms or kernicterus. Assess for jaundice by applying pressure on the skin over the tip of the nose or sternum in natural daylight. For dark-skinned infants, assess the sclera, conjunctiva, and oral mucosa. Treatment includes the reduction of the amount of unconjugated bilirubin.
