isolation.
6. An infant usually triples his birth weight by the end of his first
year.
7. Clinical signs of a dehydrated infant include lethargy, irritability,
dry skin decreased tearing, decreased urinary output, and increased
pulse.
8. Appropriate care of a child with meningitis includes frequent
assessment of neurologic signs (such as decreasing levels of
consciousness, difficulty to arouse) and measuring the
circumference of the head because subdural effusions and
obstructive hydrocephalus can develop.
9. Expected clinical findings in a newborn with cerebral palsy
include reflexive hypertonicity and criss-crossing or scissoring leg

18. One sign of developmental dysplasia is limping during
ambulation.
19. Circumcision wouldn’t be performed on a male child with
hypospadias because the foreskin may be needed during surgical

21. Classic signs of shaken baby syndrome are seizures, slow apical

22. An infant born to an HIV-positive mother will usually receive

24. Blood pressure in the arms and legs is essentially the same in
infants.
25. When bottle-feeding a newborn with a cleft palate, hold the

26. Because of circulating maternal antibodies that will decrease the
immune response, the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine

28. A newborn typically wets 6 to 10 diapers per day.
29. Although microwaving food and fluids isn’t recommend for
infants, it’s commonplace in the United States. Therefore the family

35. Kohlberg’s stages of moral development; Erikson’s eight stages

36. The primary concern with infusing large volumes of fluid is
circulatory overload. This is especially true in children and infants,
and in clients with renal disease.
37. Certain hazards present increased risk of harm to children and
occur more often at different ages. For infants, more falls, burns, and
