Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4
Explanation: 1. A newborn who has not voided by 48 hours after birth should be assessed for restlessness.
2. A newborn who has not voided by 48 hours after birth should be assessed for pain.
4. A newborn who has not voided by 48 hours after birth should be assessed for adequacy of fluid intake.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Artificial rupture of the membranes increases the incidence of chorioamnionitis. Group B strep negative findings yesterday decrease the risk of infection. Artificial rupture of the membranes is appropriate for this patient.
Rationale 2: Artificial rupture of the membranes increases the incidence of perinatal transmission of hepatitis B. This patient is negative for hepatitis B; therefore, artificial rupture of the membranes is appropriate for this patient.
Rationale 3: Artificial rupture of the membranes increases the incidence of perinatal transmission of HIV, and should not be undertaken in HIV/AIDS-positive women.
Rationale 4: A history of genital herpes does not indicate that the patient is currently experiencing an outbreak. Artificial rupture of the membranes is appropriate for this patient.
