Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A The primary focus of managing vomiting is detection of the cause and then
treatment of the cause.
B Metabolic alkalosis results from persistent vomiting. Prevention of
complications is the secondary focus of treatment.
C The child with persistent vomiting should be positioned upright or side-lying to
prevent aspiration.
D Recording intake and output is a nursing intervention, but it is not the primary
focus of treatment.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Neonatal death reflects the quality of care available to women during pregnancy and childbirth and the quality of care available to infants during the first month of life. The leading causes of death during this time are prematurity with associated low birth weight. Child mortality is the number of people who die during childhood years. Infant mortality is the number of infants who die before the age of 1 year. Maternal mortality is the number of women who die from activities related to childbirth.
