Answer to Question 1

Apneic episodes, eye rolling, and lethargy are among the manifestations of hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemic infants can also be asymptomatic. Palmar sweating is indicative of pain.

Nursing care appropriate for the newborn with a long-bone fracture includes immobilization (usually in a soft splint), frequent neurovascular checks, elevation of the extremity above the heart, cold therapy (not heat), and pain medication.
