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.
