Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
Feeding facilitation techniques for preterm infants include recognizing the infant's limits; preparing a calm, quiet area for the feeding; and ensuring a restful environment between feedings. Using a firm nipple with slower flow and gently arousing the infant for the feeding are other facilitation techniques. Using a soft nipple and avoiding arousing the infant are techniques that would not facilitate feeding.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Signs of withdrawal in a drug-exposed newborn include increased tone; increased respiratory rate; disturbed sleep; fever; excessive sucking; and loose, watery stools. Other signs observed included projectile vomiting, mottling, crying, nasal stuffiness, hyperactive Moro reflex, and tremors.
