Which nursing action is most appropriate at this time?
- A. Recognize that the fluid is cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and remove the dressing, observing for the source of the leakage.
- B. Recognize that the fluid is CSF and call the chaplain because death of the child is imminent.
- C. Recognize that the fluid is CSF and notify the operating room because additional surgery will be necessary.
- D. Recognize that the fluid is CSF and reinforce the dressing until the physician can change it.

The nurse is caring for the newborn infant. Which initial measures should the nurse take to maintain the newborn’s axillary body temperature between 97.7°F (36.5°C) and 98.9°F (37.2°C)? Select all that apply.

- B. Place the infant skin-to-skin with the mother.

- D. Cover the infant’s head with a stocking cap.
- E. Place the infant in a bassinette close to the wall.
Correct Answer: A,B,D

If the child weighs 30 kg, what is the hourly flow rate in milliliters? Use the standard 100 mL/kg/day for the first 10 kg of body weight, 50 mL/kg/day for the next 10 kg of body weight, and 20 mL/kg/day for each kilogram above 20 kg of body weight for daily maintenance.
Correct Answer: 70.83 mL/hour
Rationale: Calculation: First 10 kg = 100 mL/kg/day × 10 = 1000 mL/day; Next 10 kg = 50 mL/kg/day × 10 = 500 mL/day; Last 10 kg = 20 mL/kg/day × 10 = 200 mL/day. Total = 1000 + 500 + 200 = 1700 mL/day. Hourly rate = 1700 ÷ 24 = 70.83 mL/hour. Since no exact option is provided, the closest reasonable answer is assumed as correct based on standard practice.
