Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
The instructor would recognize that further teaching is needed if the students responded skeletal, cardiovascular, or neurologic activities. The placenta begins to function shortly after implantation and is involved in the metabolic, transport, and endocrine activities necessary for fetal development.

Answer to Question 2

B
A thermal neutral environment does not pose either cold or heat stress on the neonate. Swaddling in a blanket in the isolette with help maintain the preterm neonate's thermal neutral environment. Weighing preterm infant on a scale with a diaper on will not maintain a thermal neutral environment. Opening portholes occasionally to improve air circulation or administering only cool, humidified oxygen can cause cold stress.
