Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale: The infant is at risk for hyperbilirubinemia. The mother may not have recognized the signs of hyperbilirubinemia in the early stage;therefore,the nurse should make the first home visit at day 3 of life. Waiting until day 5,8,or 9 after discharge from the hospital is incorrect since the early signs of hyperbilirubinemia may be missed if the nurse waits this length of time to evaluate the infant.
Planning

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Normal weight gain for an infant would be to have doubled in weight by 5 months of age.It would be abnormal for the infant's weight to only have doubled by one year of age and to have tripled by either 6 months or 9 months of age.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
