Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The order of performing an examination on the infant must be carefully coordinated to collect information while the baby is quiet, so the nurse will talk with the mother while the mother calms the infant. Vital signs and examination of the tympanic membrane while or after the baby has been crying will yield inaccurate results, and it is hard to hear heart sounds in a fussy baby.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The Mediterranean diet pyramid includes red meat only a few times a week.
