Answer to Question 1

11.16
Rationale : 1.86 kg 120 kcal/day = 223.2 kcal/day. 223.2 kcal divided by 20 kcal/ounce = 11.16 ounces
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Telling the mother to only put one layer of clothing on the child does not provide a rationale for the mother to make a better decision the next time; this statement is not helpful to the mother.
Rationale 2: Making a statement on how warmly the child is dressed will not necessarily accomplish the goal of informing the mother that she has overdressed the infant.
Rationale 3: This comment might cause the mother to become defensive, so it is not helpful to the mother.
Rationale 4: In this scenario, the mother has overdressed the infant. The nurse needs to inform the mother of this problem gently, and provide information to the mother on why it is a problem.
Global Rationale:
