Answer to Question 1

A
Because infants clench their eyes shut, the drops can be placed in the nasal corner of the eye so when the child opens the eyes the medication flows onto the conjunctiva.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. In teaching new mothers about safety in caring for infants, the nurse will never insist the new mothers put a blanket on the floor around and under the crib.
B Incorrect. In teaching new mothers about safety in caring for infants, the nurse will not insist the new mothers have the crib sides at least halfway up at all times, as this will engender a false sense of security.
C Correct. In teaching new mothers about safety in caring for infants, the nurse will insist the new mothers always have at least one hand on the infant then the crib sides are down.
D Incorrect. In teaching new mothers about safety in caring for infants, the nurse will never insist the new mothers leave little toys in the crib. In fact, the nurse will insist harmful objects or objects small enough to be swallowed never be left in or near the crib to avoid that danger.
