Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The infant born to a diabetic mother will require close monitoring of blood glucose levels, and is at increased risk for complications, so this infant will be considered high-risk even before birth. The other infants will not be considered high-risk until problems develop.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale: The client with agranulocytosis has no immune response, and must be carefully protected from infection. Clients generally are placed in protective isolation, and care is directed at providing as pathogen-free an environment as possible.
