Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Bloody stools, abdominal distention, diarrhea, and bilious vomitus are signs of necrotizing enterocolitis. Specific nursing responsibilities include measuring the abdomen and listening to bowel sounds.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Insufficient amounts of surfactant predispose the preterm infant to respiratory distress. The signs manifested by the infant are indicative of respiratory distress.
