Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
All options show evidence of positive outcomes. However, physical needs take priority over psychosocial needs, so absence of infection is evidence that a priority goal has been met. Secondary infection can occur due to scratching, picking, and the presence of the lesions themselves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Babies have thin skin, a large body surface area, scanty subcutaneous fat, and immature neurological systems. All these factors combined make it difficult for a baby to regulate his or her temperature. The other statements are not factual or informative.
