Answer to Question 1

B
Increasing body hydration will help replace body fluids, including cerebrospinal fluids. Placing the client in a semi-Fowler's position will aggravate the headache. Caffeine is used to treat these types of headaches. Keeping the client in a darkened room will not impact on these types of headaches.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A The transition period is the phase between intrauterine and extrauterine existence.
B The first period of reactivity is the first phase of transition and lasts up to 30 minutes after birth. The infant is highly alert during this phase.
C There is no such phase.
D The second period of reactivity occurs roughly between 4 and 8 hours after birth, after a period of prolonged sleep.
