Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Bowel sounds in the thoracic cavity could indicate a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The nurse should assess for other signs, including cyanosis, bradycardia, barrel chest, and scaphoid abdomen. The other findings are not related to this condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Maintaining adequate nutrition is a priority concern in a child with cleft lip or palate, because these defects interfere with feeding. An appropriate weight gain signifies that feeding is adequate. Infection would be a concern in a recent defect repair. Interacting appropriately and having normal cranial nerve function are not specifically related to this defect.
