Answer to Question 1
A
Any effort to organize the right environment, plan, or literature is of no use if the parents are not ready to learn. A baseline assessment of prior knowledge should be taken into consideration before developing any teaching plan. Locating a quiet place for meeting with parents is appropriate; however, an assessment should be done before any teaching is done. Discussing a teaching plan with the nursing team is appropriate after an assessment of the parents' knowledge and readiness.
Answer to Question 2
C
When a congenital heart defect is suspected, the blood pressure should be measured in all four extremities while the child is quiet. Discrepancies between upper and lower extremities may indicate cardiac disease. Blood pressure measurements when the child is crying are likely to be elevated; thus, the readings will be inaccurate. Blood pressure measurements for upper and lower extremities are compared during an assessment for congenital heart defects.
