Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Parents should be taught that toddlers should not disturb an animal that is eating, sleeping, or caring for young puppies or kittens. The child should avoid all strange animals and not be encouraged to pet dogs in the neighborhood. The child should never approach a strange dog that is confined or restrained. The inexperienced child should not feed a dog (if the child pulls back when the animal moves to take the food, this can frighten and startle the animal).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Establishing and maintaining the child's airway is always the priority focus for assessment and care. Establishing intravenous access is the second priority in this situation, after the airway has been established. Inserting a catheter and monitoring hourly urine output is the third most important nursing intervention. Nasogastric feedings are not begun initially on a child with major or severe burns. The initial assessment and care focus for a child with major burn injuries is the ABCs.
