Answer to Question 1

B
Infants usually develop a nighttime pattern of sleep by 3 months of age. The neonate and infant up to the age of 3 months average about 16 hours of sleep a day. A symptom of anemia or depression is fatigue, but this does not focus on the question the new mother asked about the baby sleeping.

Answer to Question 2

D
Effective teaching strategies for the older adult include providing individualized information that is based on what the patient needs to know and presenting information slowly in frequent sessions. Allow more time for older learners to demonstrate learning. Do not provide the teaching all at once; use frequent sessions. Because the patient has no use of the right hand, navigating the computer could be cumbersome. The older adult needs individualized, not generic, information.
