Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
With the use of electronic health records, it is necessary to take all steps to maintain confidentiality and limit access to non-health care personnel. In an emergent care situation, the nurse should have logged out of the system to maintain confidentiality. Although it is important to make sure that one's client is safe, there is no information here to suggest that there were any safety issues applicable to her assigned client. The staffing of the unit should not affect confidentiality. Changing the password for logging in to a system is an option for clinical practice but does not affect the situation as described.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Late preterm infants are born between 34 and 36 weeks and present with more complications than LBW infants, according to evidence-based practice. The added weight does not provide protection, and these infants are more likely to experience respiratory distress.
