Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The umbilical cord clamp should be removed between 24 and 48 hours after birth to reduce the chance of tension injury to the area.
Rationale 2: If the infant has not voided since the circumcision procedure, further assessment should be done to determine if a penile injury and/or edema is preventing urinary flow.
Rationale 3: This is a positive action that represents the mother's readiness to care for her infant at home.
Rationale 4: The infant should be able to maintain body temperature without the presence of the radiant warmer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: This newborn's weight loss is within normal limits. During the first 510 days of life, caloric intake often is insufficient for weight gain. Therefore, there might be a weight loss of 510 in term newborns.
Rationale 2: This newborn's weight loss is within normal limits. During the first 510 days of life, caloric intake often is insufficient for weight gain. Therefore, there might be a weight loss of 510 in term newborns.
Rationale 3: This newborn's weight loss is within normal limits. During the first 510 days of life, caloric intake often is insufficient for weight gain. Therefore, there might be a weight loss of 510 in term newborns.
Rationale 4: This newborn's weight loss is within normal limits. During the first 510 days of life, caloric intake often is insufficient for weight gain. Therefore, there might be a weight loss of 510 in term newborns.
