Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The anterior fontanel is diamond-shaped, whereas the posterior fontanel is triangular. Short bones are relatively cube-shaped. The anterior fontanel is not a flat bone.

The expected outcome must be client oriented, specific, reasonable, and measurable. Client will drink more fluids is not measurable. Client will have good skin turgor needs to be more specific and all options must have a time frame for evaluating the expected outcome performance.
