Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Many patients react negatively to the idea of IV fluid therapy during labor to restore body fluid. Assure the patient that being out of bed and walking, turning freely, squatting, sitting, or using whatever position preferred during labor will not disrupt the IV line or the infusion. The nurse should not tell the patient to lie on the back or to lie perfectly still. The patient should also be encouraged to get out of bed if that is permitted and desired by the patient in labor.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Powders should not be used because they can be inhaled, causing respiratory distress. If the parents want to use oils and lotions, have them apply a small amount onto their hand first, away from the newborn; this warms the lotion. Then the parents should apply the lotion or oil sparingly. Parents need to be instructed that a bath two or three times weekly is sufficient for the first year because too frequent bathing may dry the skin. The eyes are cleaned first and only with plain water; then the rest of the face is cleaned with plain water.
