Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
Periventricular hemorrhage has long-term sequelae such as seizures, hydrocephalus, periventricular leukomalacia, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, vision or hearing deficits, and mental retardation. Covering the eyes is more appropriate for the newborn receiving phototherapy. The bleeding in the brain can lead to serious long-term effects. Blood transfusions are not used to treat periventricular hemorrhage.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
It is important to educate the teacher that this recurrent abdominal pain is a true pain and is not just in her mind. Telling the teacher not to add to the family's stress or that they are working towards improvement does not teach. The nurse must have the permission of the family to discuss the girl's medication.
