Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A Surfactant prevents the alveoli from collapsing.
B By keeping the alveoli open, it permits better oxygen exchange, but that is not its
main purpose.
C Surfactant prevents the alveoli from collapsing each time the infant exhales, thus
reducing the work of breathing.
D It does not affect the bronchioles.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse needs to identify who is the custodial parent. This is especially important when consent forms for care need to be signed. Once this information is obtained, the nurse needs to clearly document it in the patient's medical record. Permission to miss school, health insurance, and needs after discharge do not necessarily need to be assessed prior to planning care for the patient.
