Answer to Question 1

B
In the recovery phase of acute tubular necrosis (ATN), renal function begins to improve, the clients urine output returns to normal, and serum and urine values are more closer to normal.

Answer to Question 2

C
Cleft lip/palate is the failure of the palate, lip, or both to fuse. Nasal, lip, and palate distortions are common and apparent at birth. The infant with cleft palate is at risk for aspiration, feeding difficulties, and respiratory infections. Care is directed at closing the defects (the lip is repaired at 6 to 12 weeks and the palate at 12 to 18 months) and preventing complications. The infant's ability to suck, swallow, breathe, and handle secretions must be assessed.
