Answer to Question 1

A
A tourniquet must never be released once it is in place. All other options are enhancements to the procedure of the tourniquet application, but not essential.

Answer to Question 2

A
A baby born to a drug-addicted mother should be swaddled, placed in an area of low stimulation, and minimally handled.
