Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Water has a specific gravity of 1.0, so the value of 0.008-0.009 is way too low.
B Correct. The normal value of the specific gravity of a newborn's urine is close to the specific gravity of water, as their kidneys are not able to concentrate urine immediately after birth.
C Incorrect. The normal value of the specific gravity of human urine is never as high as 1.1-1.7.
D Incorrect. The normal value of the specific gravity of human urine is never as high as 1.8-1.9.

Answer to Question 2

B
Children do not always complain if they are in pain. They are frightened by the events and their surroundings. The nurse should evaluate for both verbal and non verbal cues of pain. Children may not always cry if they are in pain. Conversely, they may be crying for another reason. Children at this age cannot rate their pain in this way. The nurse would use a pictorial pain scale.
