Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Immediately before bathing the infant, the temperature should be measured, because temperature can change quickly in a neonate, and the bath should not be performed if the infant is cold or borderline. Eye treatment should be applied at least 15 minutes before the bath, to allow it to absorb before beginning the bath, which begins with cleaning the eyes.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: Classic symptoms of thrombocytopenia are petechiae and purpura caused by rupture of tiny capillaries with bleeding into the tissues. The other symptoms are not generally associated with thrombocytopenia.
