Answer to Question 1

Rationale : The normal neonatal blood pressure is 73/55; the normal adult blood pressure is 120/80

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The nurse should leave the room and, depending on the urgency of what the nurse planned to do, either come back in a little while or knock on the door. This respects the client's privacy and prevents embarrassment. There is no need to notify anyone, and the client's need for privacy should be respected.
