Answer to Question 1

2. Role conflict.

Rationale:
Role conflicts arise when there are incompatibilities with expectations. The client is expected to be at work, care for the child, and make dinner. All of these expectations could lead to the client's experiencing role conflict. Role mastery occurs when a person's behaviors meet social expectations. Role ambiguity occurs when expectations are unclear and people do not know what to do or how to do it and are unable to predict the reactions of others to their actions. Self-esteem is one's own judgment of one's worth.

Answer to Question 2

1. Measure abdominal girth

Rationale:
Before each feeding, the nurse should measure the abdominal girth to determine abdominal distention, which is seen in necrotizing enterocolitis or paralytic ileus. Weighing the baby and weighing diapers are interventions to assess for fluid volume status. Measuring pulse oximetry is an intervention for assessing oxygenation.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
