Answer to Question 1

A
The neonatal stage begins with birth to the first 28 days of life. This is an adjustment time to extrauterine life. The most important physiologic task of the neonate is to achieve equilibrium through stabilization of body systems.

Answer to Question 2

B
When giving an intradermal injection to an adult, the dose amount does not exceed 0.1 mL, a 1 mL tuberculin syringe is used with a 25-gauge needle and administered at a 10- to 15-degree angle.
