Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Although it is true that newborns sleep a great deal of any 24-hour period, the nurse must find out what the mother means by too much before giving any information.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Decreased or lack of voiding by the newborn should be reported to the pediatrician or nurse practitioner to prevent dehydration.
