Answer to Question 1

B
A learning objective describes what the patient or guardian(s) will be able to do after successful instruction. The objective contains an active verb describing what the learner will do after the objective is met (demonstrate). Understand does not specify the behavior or content to be learned and is not an active verb. The learning objectives should focus on the parents as they are the learners; it should not focus on the infant. The parents should call the hospital for help but this does not relate to the skill being taught, CPR.

Answer to Question 2

A
If regular and intermediate-acting insulin are ordered, prepare the regular insulin first to prevent contamination with the intermediate-acting insulin. Never mix insulin glargine (Lantus) or insulin detemir (Levemir) with other types of insulin. Inject rapid-acting insulins mixed with NPH insulin within 15 minutes before a meal. Verify insulin dosages with another nurse while you prepare them if required by agency policy.
