Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Circumcision is a surgical procedure. The American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that procedural analgesia be provided when circumcision is performed. The pain infants experience with surgical procedures can be alleviated with analgesia. Infants who undergo circumcision without anesthetic agents react more intensely to immunization injections at 4 to 6 months of age compared with infants who had an anesthetic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Forceps birth can result in local irritation, bruising, or lacerations of the fetal scalp. This would put the infant at risk for cold stress and would be contraindicated. Prophylactic antibiotics are not necessary with a forceps birth. Measuring the circumference of the head is part of the initial nursing assessment.
