Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
High-risk infants may continue to need assistance with respiratory function after discharge. The infant does not need to be kept on a strict schedule so as not to disrupt the sleeping patterns of the infant. A high-risk infant should be placed on the side or back as appropriate positions. Cleaning the cord several times a day with alcohol prep is not required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The pediatrician uses well-baby checkups to observe for abnormalities, answer parental questions, give immunizations, and observe the normal growth and development of the infant. Checkups are done to allow for the pediatrician to identify problems, not for the mother to identify problems. The nurse can answer this question; it does not need to be answered by the pediatrician. Checkups are not required by law.
