Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
During the first few days after birth, the uterus typically descends downward from the level of the umbilicus at a rate of 1 cm (1 fingerbreadth) per day so that by 3 days, the fundus lies 2 to 3 fingerbreadths below the umbilicus.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
The nurse would give the child a subcutaneous injection of octreotide acetate every 12 hours as directed. Desmopressin is a synthetic antidiuretic hormone used to treat diabetes insipidus. Methimazole is an antithyroid drug used to treat hyperthyroidism. Glipizide is a hypoglycemic drug that assists in insulin production for diabetes mellitus type 2.
