Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The infant is considered potentially hazardous due to maternal secretions, so the nurse should wear gloves until after the infant is bathed. The remaining activities are done before and after the bath.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The client with polycythemia has thicker blood because of the increase in red blood cells. Increasing fluid intake will reduce the risks associated with the condition. There is no need to change caloric intake, and iron supplements are contraindicated, as they can cause red blood cell counts to rise further. Blood pressure should be sustained below 160 systolic for any client.
