When does the anterior fontanel of an At 18 to 26 months

Test-Taking Tip: Multiple-choice questions can be challenging because students
think that they will recognize the right answer when they see it or that the right
answer will somehow stand out from the other choices. This is a dangerous
misconception. The more carefully the question is constructed, the more each of
the choices will seem like the correct response.

an infant who is at risk for infections? Breast milk contains immunoglobulin G (IgG) that protects the infant against many
bacteria, such as Escherichia coli. The nurse instructs the parent to avoid placing
the infant in bright sunlight for a long period of time to prevent burns, but not to
prevent infections. Soy-based infant formulas are used only if the infant is allergic
to lactose in the breast milk and is not used to prevent the risk for infections. Later,
susceptibility would be dependent on multiple factors, including nutrition and
exposure to infections.

At the age of 3 weeks an infant undergoes
surgery to repair a cleft lip. What should
postoperative nursing care include?
1
Using a spoon to administer oral feedings
Correct 2
Cleansing the suture line to prevent
infection
3
Offering a pacifier for sucking to prevent
crying
4
Using wrist restraints to keep the infant's
hands away from the face
Meticulous care of the suture line is
necessary to prevent infection and to help
ensure the best cosmetic effect. Using a
spoon is contraindicated, because it could
disrupt the suture line; the infant may be
fed with a device that is designed
especially for this purpose. Offering a
pacifier is contraindicated, because sucking
will put tension on the suture line and may
result in disruption of the sutures. Elbow
restraints are used; this allows the infant to
move the arms without bending the elbows
and thus prevents the infant from touching
the face
