Question 1 of 5
An infant had four wet diapers during the 8-hour shift. The weight of a dry diaper is 15 g. The four wet diapers weighed 30 g, 24 g, 21 g, and 25 g. What amount in milliliters should the nurse record for the total 8-hour urine? _______ mL (Record your answer as a whole number.)
Correct Answer: 40
Rationale: Subtract dry diaper weight (15 g): 30–15=15 g 24–15=9 g 21–15=6 g 25–15=10 g.
Total: 15+9+6+10=40 g equaling 40 mL urine output.

The nurse correctly advises the client that she is still considered infectious until which time?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A negative culture after completing antibiotics and being off them for at least 7 days confirms the infection is cleared, ensuring the client is no longer infectious.

Question 4 of 5
The nurse is measuring both the chest and head circumference during the full-term newborn’s initial assessment. The newborn’s father observes this and asks the nurse why both measurements are necessary. Which explanation is most accurate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The circumference of the normal newborn’s head is approximately 2 centimeters greater than the chest at birth. Extreme differences may indicate abnormalities like microcephalus or hydrocephalus. Head size doesn’t predict intelligence chest size doesn’t assess cardiac health and measurements don’t predict adult size.
