Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
At 5 months of age, the infant usually has achieved head control and is able to sit alone. Individual variations in activity patterns and neuromuscular development should be expected.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
The nurse assesses several parameters when choosing whether to use a mechanized assistive device for a client transfer. The most important consideration, however, is the client's ability to safely assist with his or her transfer.
