Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: An occasional watery stool can be associated with the normal newborn.
Rationale 2: Spitting up after some feedings can be associated with the normal newborn.

Rationale 2: null
Rationale 3: null
Rationale 4: The blood pressure and pulse are important, but are not part of the assessment made in relation to height and weight.
Rationale 5: Weight loss is not a recommendation based on height and weight; the nurse would recommend an amount of weight to gain.
