Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Feedback:
When investigating child care centers, the nurse should counsel the parents to find out about the childstaff ratio, parental visiting hours, the time the center has been in operation, and compliance with licenses and regulations. The payment plan might be important to the parents; however, it should not be the sole factor in making a decision about a child care center.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Bulging fontanels in a preterm newborn suggest overhydration. Sunken fontanels, decreased urine output, and elevated temperature would suggest dehydration.
