Answer to Question 1

2
Explanation: 2. This is the best response because it most directly addresses what the client has reported.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,4,5
Rationale 1: Newborns respond and interact with the environment in a predictable pattern of behavior that is shaped by their intrauterine experience.
Rationale 2: This is the common position of the newborn.
Rationale 3: Eye movements are observable during the first few days of life. A bright light shining in the newborn's eyes elicits the blinking reflex.
Rationale 4: Newborns have several behavioral capacities that assist in their adaptation to extrauterine life, such as fist sucking and staring at an external stimulus.
Rationale 5: A mother's first response to an upset or crying newborn is touching or holding.
