Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale:Newborns discharged before 48 hours old should be seen within 48 hours of discharge. Waiting one week and/or two weeks after discharge of a 24-hour-old infant increases the chance that several common newborn conditions can go undiagnosed:e.g.,.jaundice,failure to gain weight. Waiting one month is too long for any infant who is discharged at 24 hours old.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale: The scenario reveals parental anxiety due to marital problems. The most appropriate nursing diagnosis is Alteration in Growth Patterns related to parental anxiety. There is no data that indicates familial short stature.Since height and weight are at the fifth percentile,there is no indication of increased nutritional intake. This infant is not at risk for constitutional growth delay.
