Answer to Question 1

A
Toddlers are most often at risk for accidents in or near the home. Although new and strange environments may cause an increased hazard, the home is still the most common site.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Pillows should be used under curvatures of the cast; the head and shoulders should not be elevated on pillows as it may cause respiratory difficulty. A disposable diaper tucked into the buttock opening of the cast can prevent soiling the cast with feces. A bib will keep food from entering the cast. Cool air is helpful with itching.
