Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

A minimum of six wet diapers per day indicates adequate fluid intake for the infant. A temperature of 98 F is considered normal. Stool color is often seedy and yellow or golden brown in color when breastfeeding. Green eye drainage is abnormal and should be reported to the baby's provider.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

Elements of a crisis care card include names and phone numbers of competent and willing family and friends; numbers of community resources, such as hotlines, mental health emergency centers, and local Emergency Departments; reasonable, non-suicidal responses to problems; and a list of activities that have helped in the past. The client's name, address, and physician are not usually a part of the crisis care card.
