Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale:
1. Newborns discharged before 48 hours old should be seen within 48 hours of discharge.
2.Waiting 1 week after the discharge of a 24-hour-old infant increases the chance that several common newborn conditions will go undiagnosed (e.g., jaundice, failure to gain weight).
3. Waiting 2 weeks after the discharge of a 24-hour-old infant increases the chance that several common newborn conditions will go undiagnosed (e.g., jaundice, failure to gain weight).
4. Waiting 1 month is too long for any infant who was discharged at 24 hours old.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D, E

Feedback
Correct All of these might be included in the couple's birth plan. Other items might include the presence of non-essential medical personnel (students), labor activities such as the tub or ambulation, preferred comfort and re-laxation methods, and any cultural or religious requirements.
Incor-rect None of the above. The following website has some examples of birth plans and provides couples with an interactive birth plan to assist them in preparation for their birth (www.childbirth.org).
