Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Feedback
Correct The child with a soft tissue injury in the first 6 to 12 hours is treated by
controlling the swelling and reducing muscle damage. The acronym
RICE summarizes the care needed: rest, ice, compression, and elevation.
Incorrect During the acute phase of the injury, the child is not moved frequently and
range-of-motion exercises would not be done. The child with a soft tissue
injury in the first 6 to 12 hours is treated by controlling the swelling and
reducing muscle damage.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Feedback
Correct All of these conditions are related to immaturity and warrant close
observation. After discharge the infant is at risk for rehospitalization
related to these problems. AWHONN has recently launched the
Near-Term Infant Initiative to study the problem and ways to ensure that
these infants receive adequate care. The nurse should ensure that this
infant is feeding adequately before discharge and that parents are taught
the signs and symptoms of these complications.
Incorrect These infants are at risk for respiratory distress and hypoglycemia.
