Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
With the loss of the placenta at birth, the newborn must now assume control of glucose homeostasis. This is achieved by early oral intermittent feedings. Observing for respiratory distress, promoting bonding, and monitoring vital signs, although important, are not the priority for this newborn.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
The normal heart rate range for toddlers and preschoolers is 80 to 105 beats per minute. A school-age child's heart rate ranges from 70 to 80 beats per minute. An infant's heart rate ranges from 120 to 130 beats per minute.
