Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The addicted newborn is hypersensitive. The central nervous system and gastrointestinal system are usually most affected. Suggestions for handling an addicted newborn include the following: provide eye contact, touch the newborn gently, and rock up-and-down (not side-to-side: this makes the newborn more hyperactive).

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
No more than 750 to 1,000 mL of urine can be safely removed from the bladder at any one time, particularly if the client has had retention or distention over a long period. The client can go into shock if too much urine is removed from the bladder too fast.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
