Answer to Question 1

D
The baby should be placed in a kneechest position. This decreases blood flow to the lower extremities and increases blood flow to the upper body and head. Oxygen is not helpful.

Answer to Question 2

D
Accident-proofing the home is to lessen the possibility of accidents to the child who is beginning to ambulate independently. Covering electrical outlets, installing childproof catches on low cabinets, and padding sharp furniture edges can help avoid accidents. All other options are not timely for this family.
