Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
Newborn auditory screening is done to identify hearing loss and begin treatment. Treatment can help to reduce developmental delay. Newborn auditory screening is a Healthy People 2020 goal. New parents are often anxious regarding this test and the impending results; however, it is not a reason for the screening to be performed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Nonpharmacologic pain relief methods during and after the circumcision include pacifiers, oral sucrose, soothing music, recordings of intrauterine sounds, decreased lights, and talking softly to the infant. Acetaminophen may be given throughout the first day for postprocedure pain. EMLA cream (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics) may be applied to anesthetize the skin before the procedure. Bright lights and stimulation would not be methods to reduce circumcision pain.
