Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

The infant at 6 months should have head control and is working on sitting without support. Pulling the child to a sitting position allows the neck muscles to support the head. Propping the child in a sitting position helps to develop self-righting behaviors. It is too early to worry about standing. Talking to the child promotes language development, not gross motor development. Handling a rattle is a fine motor behavior, a not gross motor behavior.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A

The nurse needs to identify who has the authority to make decisions in a client's family. If the decision maker is someone other than the client, the nurse needs to include that individual in healthcare discussions. Regardless of who is present during the teaching, it is always necessary to make sure that the instructions are understood, but it is difficult to do that before instructions are given. Asking the client when the best time for teaching would be does not address the need for the decision maker of the family to be present.
