Answer to Question 1

7-8
Health care providers should evaluate and monitor infants who continue to lose weight
after 5 days or who do not regain their birth weight by 14 days.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Although a neurologic assessment will be required, it is not the area of primary
assessment. The airway is always assessed first.
B Hypothermia offers protection to the brain. It is a concern, but not the area of
primary concern.
C Although the child may have electrolyte imbalances, this is not the primary
assessment area.
D Hypoxia is responsible for the injury to organ systems during submersion
injuries. Hypoxia can progress to cardiopulmonary arrest. Monitoring the airway
is always the number one concern.
