Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A This is an indication that the child is responding to treatment.
B This is an acceptable urine output and indicates that the child is responding to
treatment.
C A positive ASO titer indicates the presence of antibodies to streptococcal
bacteria; it is used to aid in diagnosis of acute poststreptococcal
glomerulonephritis. This is an expected finding if the child has this acute illness.
D Children with excess fluid volume may have pulmonary edema. Inspiratory
crackles indicate fluid in the lungs. Pulmonary edema can be a life-threatening
complication.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Engorgement is more likely to increase if breastfeeding is delayed or infrequent.
B A well-fitting bra should be worn both day and night to support the breasts.
C Cold applications are used between feedings to reduce edema and pain. Heat is
applied just before feedings to increase vasodilation.
D Massage of the breasts causes release of oxytocin and increases the speed of milk
release.
