Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: Infants can learn to roll as early as 4-5 months of age, and could easily be tangled in wires. Some children are crawling by 6 months of age, and would be able to reach electrical outlets. These safety measures should be instituted before going home with the baby or shortly thereafter. The other statements are all correct.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: The nurse uses observation, which includes smelling, seeing, and hearing.
