Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: When assessing scarf sign, the term infant's elbow should not reach the midline, where the term infant has more flexibility. The other findings would be appropriate with a term infant.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Increased protein intake is important to replace protein lost through the drainage from the ulcers. In addition, the client needs extra vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc for wound healing.
