Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Bone demineralization leads to a negative calcium balance, osteoporosis, pathologic fractures, extraosseous bone formation, and renal calculi. Pooling of blood is a result of the cardiovascular effects of immobilization. Urinary retention is secondary to the effect of immobilization on the urinary tract. Susceptibility to infection can result from the effects of immobilization on the respiratory and renal systems.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Decrease ambient light levels by using an incubator cover and by dimming lights, not keeping them bright. Avoid placing a cloth over the face because it will cause tactile irritation. Avoid leaving visual stimuli in the beds of infants who cannot escape from it.
