Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
All answers are appropriate nursing interventions; however, the child with Down's syndrome has a small oral cavity and small airway, which can be easily occluded. The priority action of the nurse is to maintain the child's airway.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Data show that alcohol intake at any time of pregnancy is harmful. The nurse should educate the woman that drinking any amount of alcohol at any time during her pregnancy can increase the risk of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder.
