Explanation: Making funeral arrangements is an indication of hopelessness because it shows that the client has given up on the possibility of recovery or improvement. A decreased energy level, requesting a second opinion, and wanting to talk about the diagnosis are not necessarily signs of hopelessness, but rather normal reactions to a terminal illness.

Choice A rationale:

Maintaining eye contact with the newborn during feedings is a general caregiving practice and is not specific to managing neonatal abstinence syndrome. While eye contact and bonding are important for newborns, it does not address the symptoms of neonatal abstinence syndrome.

Choice B rationale:

Swaddling the newborn with his legs extended is not a specific action for managing neonatal abstinence syndrome. However, swaddling can provide comfort to some infants, but the positioning of the legs is not directly related to managing symptoms of withdrawal.

Choice C rationale:

Administering naloxone to the newborn is not a standard practice for managing neonatal abstinence syndrome. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to reverse opioid overdose in adults and is not typically used in newborns unless there are specific indications, which are rare.
