Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hearing is the priority. Risk factors for hearing problems include low birth weight, nonbacterial intrauterine infection, and excessively high bilirubin levels. Hearing loss due to ototoxicity (injury to auditory nerves) can result from high maintenance doses of antibiotics. Cardiac, respiratory, and eye examinations are important assessments but are not relevant to this child's condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Supine is the most normally relaxed position. If the patient becomes short of breath easily, raise the head of the bed. Supine position would be easiest for a weak, older-adult person during the examination. Lateral recumbent and prone positions cause respiratory difficulty for any patient with respiratory difficulties. Sims' position is used for assessment of the rectum and the vagina.
