Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The nurse should diaper and swaddle the infant and take him to his mother for comfort and eventual feeding when he is calm. Petroleum jelly is not applied when a Plastibell is used, because it can cause the Plastibell to fall off prematurely. The penis may be cleaned to remove blood, but this should be done gently, to prevent bleeding, and it should not be thoroughly cleaned for several days. Diapering is acceptable.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4
Rationale 1: Hospice clients are terminally ill, and the goal of care is to maintain the quality of life until death.
