Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Eye prophylaxis can be delayed until after this critical time period. The baby should not be removed from the parents; rather, they should be together during this period. The nurse should place the naked baby between the mother's breasts (skin-to-skin contact) and have the mother assume the en face position with her newborn, in which their heads align as they look at each other.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
As CD progresses, the person must use increased amounts of the substance to stop feeling sick or depressed. The person begins to need the substance to keep from feeling bad, but he or she never really feels good. In early stages of CD, the chemical temporarily alleviates the person's feelings of low self-worth and stress. Therefore, the person uses it to escape and to feel better. In later stages, the person finds that even a small amount of the chemical causes illness or severe intoxication. In other cases, even a small amount of the chemical renders the person unable to stop using, until he or she passes out or runs out of the drug and is unable to get more.
