Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A No urine output in 6 hours needs to be reported because it indicates dehydration.
B Two loose stools in 8 hours is not a serious concern. If blood is obvious in the
stool or the frequency increases to one bowel movement every hour for more
than 8 hours, the physician should be notified.
C A fever greater than 101 F should be reported to the infant's physician.
D It is normal for the infant who is not ill to nap for 2 hours. The infant who is ill
may nap longer than the typical amount.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
For the school-age child between the ages of 5 and 14 years, the number one cause of mortality is from unintentional injuries or accidents. Other top five causes for child mortality include cancer, assault, and suicide.
