Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Many babies spit up after every meal and some seem to spit up a great deal.
Rationale 2: How much the baby spits up at a time is not included in criteria to evaluate if the regurgitation should be further investigated.
Rationale 3: As long as the baby is gaining weight adequately, it is not abnormal for regurgitation or spitting up to occur.
Rationale 4: The consistency of the regurgitated material may be thin (just consumed) or curdled (has been partially digested) and either case is normal.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5

Rationale 1: Oxymorphone (Opana) is an opioid analgesic for severe pain. Because the client rated the pain as 9, which is severe, this medication is appropriate.

Rationale 2: Hydrocodone (Vicodin) is an opioid analgesic for moderate pain. Considering that the client rates pain as being severe, this medication would not sufficiently control the client's pain.

Rationale 3: Oxymorphone (Opana) is an opioid analgesic for severe pain. Because the client rated the pain as 9, which is severe, this medication is appropriate.

Rationale 4: Morphine sulfate (morphine) is an opioid analgesic for severe pain. Because the client rated the pain as 9, which is severe, this medication is appropriate.

Rationale 5: Hydromorphone hydrochloride (Dilaudid) is an opioid analgesic for severe pain. Because the client rated the pain as 9, which is severe, this medication is appropriate.
