Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The infant should be monitored for bleeding and infection. Intake and output is not necessary, but voiding should be noted. Neither an ice pack nor alcohol should be applied to an incision.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Until it heals, the umbilical cord is especially susceptible to infection. Also, any cracks in the infant's skin may become infected.
