Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3. Incorrect. These are all normal infant findings and would not prevent early discharge.
4. Correct. This finding indicates that the infant is experiencing some difficulty with breast-feeding. The infant would need at least two successful feedings completed (normal sucking and swallowing) prior to an early discharge.
