Answer to Question 1

C
Although this may be transiently apparent in the normal newborn, in the premature neonate, usually nasal flaring indicates oxygen deprivation and respiratory distress. Bluish color of hands and feet, as well as irregular respirations are common assessments in the neonate. Respiratory rate of 56/min is within defined levels of normal respiratory rate in the neonate.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Feedback
Correct Inactivated vaccines such as those for tetanus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and
influenza are safe to administer for women who have a risk for contracting
or developing the disease.
Incorrect Immunizations with live virus vaccines such as MMR, varicella
(chickenpox), or smallpox are contraindicated during pregnancy because
of the possible teratogenic effects on the fetus.
