Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
It is important to develop routines for an infant to help them establish trust along with learning what to expect. Skin-to-skin touch contributes to a baby's ability to thrive, and it helps promote bonding between the mother and infant. Developing routines does not help the child adjust to toilet training.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should know that the loss of muscle tone leads to stress incontinence in the elderly. The bladder muscles become weak, which also leads to urinary retention and dribbling as stress incontinence. Reduced bladder capacity, decreased urine formation, and reduced renal blood flow are common problems associated with the urinary system as a result of advanced age, but they do not specifically lead to stress incontinence.
