Correct Answer: 2,3
Rationale 1: While caffeine should be used with caution in clients with diabetes, there is no indication that blood glucose should be monitored every 2 hours.
Rationale 2: One of the serious adverse effects of using Cafcit in newborns is the development of kernicterus. Increasing bilirubin measurements indicate potential for development of kernicterus.
Rationale 3: One of the serious adverse effects of using Cafcit in newborns is the development of seizures.
Rationale 4: Deep tendon reflexes are monitored to see if paresthesia is developing. Paresthesia is not an adverse effect related to Cafcit.
