Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale:Rifampin can color the urine orange,so the parents and child should be taught that this is an expected side effect.It does not mean the child has a urinary tract infection,and a urinalysis,radiograph,or encouragement of cranberry juice would not be options. Implementation

Answer to Question 2

Answer:4
Rationale:Grunting respirations with nasal flaring indicates respiratory status is becoming worse. Acrocyanosis (cyanosis of the extremities) is a normal finding in a neonate.CO2 of 40 is within a normal range.Periorbital edema does not necessarily mean deterioration in respiratory status.
