Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Infants are unable to shiver to produce heat. They produce heat through a mechanism called nonshivering thermogenesis. A report by the mother of an infant shivering requires a thorough investigation and assessment for problems such as seizures. The other actions are not needed.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A normal axillary temperature for an infant is 97.7 -98.6  F (36.5 -37  C) within 2-3 hours after birth. The nurse should document the findings and continue to monitor per institutional policy. No further action is needed.
