Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D, E
The parents should be instructed to notify the physician after their infant's cardiac surgery for a temperature above 37.7 C (100 F); new, frequent coughing; and any episodes of the infant turning blue or bluer than normal. A respiratory rate of 36 at rest for an infant is within normal expectations, and it is expected that the appetite will increase slowly.
