Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale 1: When bringing parents to see their ill newborn for the first time, it is important to prepare them for what they will see. Bringing parents without preparation is inappropriate.
Rationale 2: Although this statement describes the treatment the baby is receiving, it is worded in medical jargon that will not be understood by most parents.
Rationale 3: This response focuses on the nurse. Avoid saying I know how you feel, because it is impossible for the nurse to actually know how patients feel.
Rationale 4: This answer is best because it explains what the parents will see in terminology that they will understand.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation: 1. Return of fertility after use may be delayed for an average of 10 months.
