Answer to Question 1

C
Latchkey children are more likely to get into trouble and behave irresponsibly than children who are supervised. They are at increased risk for accidents due to poor judgment. These children are more likely to use drugs or alcohol. Increased feelings of fear and loneliness are common in this group.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3
Feedback
1. Fluid balance will indicate if the newborn's body is able to excrete fluid.
2. Daily weight checks will indicate the cardiac performance.
3. Feeding tolerance will indicate the level of energy needed to digest food.
4. Weight checks need to be monitored closer because the newborn could go into fluid overload if only checked once a week.
5. Intake monitoring is needed so a measure can be made of the amount of fluid the body is retaining and voiding.
