Answer to Question 1

B
The infant with congestive heart failure may tire easily so the feeding should not continue beyond 30 minutes. If inadequate amounts of formula are taken, gavage feedings should be considered. Infants with congestive heart failure may be breast-fed or fed a smaller volume of concentrated formula. Feedings every 3 hours is a frequently used interval. If the infant were fed less frequently than every 3 hours, more formula would need to be consumed and would tire the infant.

Answer to Question 2

D
Nursing care should be planned to allow for periods of undisturbed rest. Diapers must be weighed for an accurate record of output. The head of the bed should be raised to decrease the work of breathing. Oxygen should be administered during stressful periods such as when the child is crying.
