Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
After immediate physical evaluation and application of identification bracelets, the nurse promotes the parents' and newborn's need for close physical contact. Early parent-child interaction encourages parent-child attachment. Most healthy newborns are awake and alert for the first half-hour after birth. This is a good time for parent-child interaction to begin. No evidence in the scenario suggests that the baby cannot be left alone with the parents during the first 8 hours or that the baby should remain in the nursery during the first hour.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Today's nurses need to be knowledgeable about several theoretical perspectives when working with patients. These theories form the basis for meaningful observation of an individual's pattern of growth and development. They provide important guidelines for nurses to recognize deviations from the norm. Recognizing your own moral developmental level is essential in separating your own beliefs from those of others when helping patients with their moral decision-making process. No one theory successfully describes all the intricacies of human growth and development. Growth and development, as supported by a life span perspective, is multidimensional, not unidimensional.
