Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Growth is very rapid during the first year of life. The birth weight has approximately doubled by age 5 to 6 months and triples by age 1 year. The anterior fontanel closes at age 12 to 18 months. Binocularity is not established until age 15 months. Maternal iron stores are usually depleted by age 6 months.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
Normal values of pH for a newborn are:
Birth: 7.117.36
1 day: 7.297.45
Child: 7.357.45.
Normal values of PCO2 are:
Newborn: 2740 mm Hg
Infant: 2741 mm Hg
Girls: 3245 mm Hg
Boys: 3548 mm Hg.
Normal values for HCO3- are:
Infant: 2128 mEq/ml
Thereafter: 2226 mEq/ml.
The PaO2 is within normal limits for a newborn. Therefore, the nurse should report the PCO2 of 49 and the HCO3- of 30.
