Answer to Question 1

D
By repairing the lip, the baby can create suction and be able to nurse. Certainly the baby's appearance is improved, but this is not the reason behind the timing of the surgery.

Answer to Question 2

D
Prior to giving drugs such as digoxin, insulin, heparin, and narcotics, the dose is verified by another nurse. There is no need to check the blood sugar at this time. Drugs are never charted until they are actually given.
