Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, F
Galactosemia, phenylketonuria, maple syrup urine disease, and hypothyroidism would be included. Only one blood sample is needed to test for all four metabolic disorders before discharge from the nursery. This allows for early diagnosis and treatment to prevent possible serious consequences from these diseases. Muscular dystrophy is a chromosomal disorder, and congenital hip dysplasia is a skeletal system disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
All options are correct except administering formula to the infant while under the light. The infant should be removed from under the light for feedings and short parental visits.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
