Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a newborn who is 48 hr old and has a maternal history of methadone use during pregnancy. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as an indication of neonatal abstinence syndrome?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: An excessive high-pitched cry is a classic sign of neonatal abstinence syndrome, indicating withdrawal from substances such as methadone. Other signs may include irritability and tremors.

Question 2 of 5

A pregnant client's last menstrual period was May 4th, 2013. What is this client's estimated delivery date using Naegele's Rule?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Naegele's rule is a standard way of calculating an estimated delivery date (EDD). It involves subtracting three months from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP), adding seven days, and then adding one year. In this case, subtracting three months from May 4th, 2013, gives February 4th. Adding seven days results in a due date of February 11th, 2014.
