Q12H
a. Episodes of vomiting
b. Formula consumption
c. Weight
d. Temperature
Answer a. Episodes of vomiting. When using the urgent vs. nonurgent approach to client care, the nurse determines that the priority finding is
three episodes of vomiting. This can indicate digoxin toxicity, which requires immediate intervention; therefore, this is the priority finding.
B A 4monthold infant who has heart failure requires 3 to 4 oz of formula every 3 hr to adequately address caloric needs; therefore, there is
another finding that is the nurse's priority. A feeding schedule of every 2 hr does not allow sufficient rest time between feedings, and a feeding
schedule of every 4 hr requires consumption of a higher volume, which is often not tolerated by the infant.
C A weight of 5.9 kg (13 lb) is an expected finding for a 4monthold infant who weighed 3.2 kg (7 lb) at birth; therefore, there is another finding
that is the nurse's priority. The infant should gain 680 g (1.5 lb) per month until the age of 5 months, and double his birth weight at the age of 6
months.
D A temperature of 37.5ºC (99.5ºC) is within the expected reference range for a 4 monthold infant; therefore, there is another finding that
is the nurse's priority.
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to the parents of a 6monthold infant who is postoperative following hypospadias repair with a stent

a. "You may bathe your infant in an infant bathtub when you go home."
b. "Apply hydrocortisone cream to your infant's penis daily."
c. "You should clamp your infant's stent twice daily."
d. "Allow the stent to drain directly into your infant's diaper."
