Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: In order to develop self-esteem in their baby, parents should be taught to respond to the baby's needs promptly and consistently. The baby should not be allowed to cry for extended periods of time at this age.
Rationale 2: A 3-hour feeding schedule might work for some babies, but it should not be presented as the goal to a group of new parents because every baby is different.
Rationale 3: In order to develop self-esteem in their baby, parents should be taught to respond to the baby's needs promptly and consistently.
Rationale 4: Babies do not need or respond to discipline.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The nurse's first action should be to explore possible reasons the outcome was not met.
Rationale 2: Reevaluating the accuracy of the outcome statement would be the second step.
Rationale 3: Collaborating with the client to write a new expected outcome would not be the nurse's next step.
Rationale 4: Identifying new interventions to help the client achieve the outcome would not be the nurse's first step.
