Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
Developmental care for a preterm infant in the neonatal intensive care unit should include audio stimulation, stop procedures at signs of distress, provide a nest of blankets for security, and provide consistent care so sleep/wake cycles develop. Tactile stimulation should be provided by gentle back rubbing or massage. Tickling the feet would be too harsh for this young patient.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Infection with gonorrhea during pregnancy can cause ophthalmia neonatorum in the newborn from birth through an infected birth canal. Infection with syphilis can cause congenital syphilis in the neonate. Infection with chlamydia can lead to conjunctivitis or pneumonia in the newborn. Exposure to HPV during birth is associated with laryngeal papillomas.
