Answer to Question 1

B
If the nurse observes the parents demonstrating the use of the car seat, any problems or mi-sunderstandings can be identified.
Questioning the parents is not a helpful way to identify problems with a car seat; return demonstration is better.
Return demonstration is a better way to ensure that the parents understand car seat safety.
Providing information without a return demonstration will not prove that the parents are comfortable with the car seat for the infant.

Answer to Question 2

C
An infant's head may become wedged between slats that are more than 3 inches apart.
The crib should be painted with lead-free paint; this is appropriate.
This is appropriate action to ensure the safety of the crib.
The mattress needs to fit snugly to prevent suffocation.
