Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that newborns discharged early receive follow-up care within 48 hours in either a primary practitioner's office or the home. The child should void every 4 to 6 hours. Spitting up small amounts after feeding is normal in newborns; it should not delay discharge. Jaundice within the first 24 hours of life must be evaluated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nurses can positively influence the attachment of parent and infant by recognizing and explaining individual differences to the parents. The nurse should emphasize the normalcy of these variations and demonstrate the uniqueness of each infant. The parents should be encouraged to hold the infant when he or she is fussy and learn how best to soothe their infant. The nurse should facilitate parentinfant interaction during the first period of reactivity. Decreasing the parents' participation in care interferes with parentinfant attachment.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
