Answer to Question 1

1, 3
Explanation: 1. The woman should have recently emptied her bladder before performing Leopold maneuvers.
3. The woman should lie on her back with her abdomen uncovered. To aid in relaxation of the abdominal wall, the shoulders should be raised slightly on a pillow and the knees drawn up a little.

Answer to Question 2

1,2
Rationale 1: The behavioral exam is not accurate until about the third day of life. Newborns have disorganized behavior in the first days after birth.
Rationale 2: Parental input is required to fully understand the infant's behaviors that are not observed by the healthcare team.
Rationale 3: A full behavioral assessment requires seeing the infant in several sleep/alert stages, which is not likely to take place in a 1-hour home visit.
Rationale 4: Orientation to visual and auditory clues and motor activity are portions of the behavioral assessment.
Rationale 5: The behavioral assessment can detect neurological anomalies.
