Answer to Question 1

1

Rationale: Breast-feeding should be initiated within 2 hours after birth and every 2 to 3 hours thereafter. Supplementation with water does not reduce hyperbilirubinemia and should be dis-couraged because supplemental feedings with water do not promote stool excretion. The infant should not be fed less frequently. It is not necessary to stop breast-feeding permanently.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4, 5

Rationale: When the client is lying supine, the heels, sacrum, and back of the head are all at risk, as well as the elbows and scapulae. The greater trochanter and ankles are at greater risk of skin breakdown from excessive pressure when the client is in the side-lying position.
