Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
An Apgar score below 7 at 1 or 5 minutes indicates the need for resuscitation. IV fluid therapy and blood cultures may be done once resuscitation is started. Kangaroo care would be appropriate once the newborn is stable.

Answer to Question 2

C
Response:
Palpation should be the last part of the abdominal examination. Inspection, auscultation, and percussion should be done before palpation.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
