Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Parents and their high-risk infant should get to spend a night or two in a
predischarge room, where care for the infant is provided away from the NICU.
B Just because high-risk infants are discharged does not mean they are normal,
healthy babies. Follow-up by specialized practitioners is essential.
C High-risk infants can cause profound parental stress and emotional turmoil.
Parents need support, special teaching, and quick access to various resources
available to help them care for their baby.
D Ideally, the mother and baby are transported with the fetus in utero; this reduces
neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The teaching that would support both of the children's needs would be to focus on actions to ensure safety. Increased freedom would be appropriate for the adolescent. Encourage independent thinking would be appropriate for the young adult. Importance of school experiences would be appropriate for the school-age child but not for the toddler.
