Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale: The infant is at risk for hyperbilirubinemia. The mother may not have recognized the signs of hyperbilirubinemia in the early stage;therefore,the nurse should make the first home visit at day 3 of life. Waiting until day 5,8,or 9 after discharge from the hospital is incorrect since the early signs of hyperbilirubinemia may be missed if the nurse waits this length of time to evaluate the infant.
Planning

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Normal weight gain for an infant would be to have doubled in weight by 5 months of age.It would be abnormal for the infant's weight to only have doubled by one year of age and to have tripled by either 6 months or 9 months of age.
