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.

D
Feedback:
