Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
High-risk infants may continue to need assistance with respiratory function after discharge. The infant does not need to be kept on a strict schedule so as not to disrupt the sleeping patterns of the infant. A high-risk infant should be placed on the side or back as appropriate positions. Cleaning the cord several times a day with alcohol prep is not required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The pediatrician uses well-baby checkups to observe for abnormalities, answer parental questions, give immunizations, and observe the normal growth and development of the infant. Checkups are done to allow for the pediatrician to identify problems, not for the mother to identify problems. The nurse can answer this question; it does not need to be answered by the pediatrician. Checkups are not required by law.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. 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.
