Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
The child may have lived with several different families and may not have complete medical files, so performing a comprehensive health assessment will be important. Determining if the child is being bullied at school is not specific to any one family structure. Assessing for problems related to mixed expectations of parents is common in a blended family. Establishing who the caretaker is would be necessary with a communal family.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
Drying the newborn immediately after birth using warmed blankets is essential to prevent heat loss through evaporation. Then the nurse would place a cap on the baby's head and wrap the newborn. Assessing the newborn's temperature would occur once these measures were initiated to prevent heat loss.
