Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The baby likely is in pain and the nurse should teach the mother ways to soothe the baby, such as music and rocking. The baby might be tense if the mother is, but the likelihood is that the infant has pain from the circumcision. There is no reason to believe the child has colic or autism.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,5
Rationale: Dry and cracked lips may indicate dehydration or overmedication, and should be reported to the unit supervisor
