Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse should make sure that no small, loose objects are in the crib. These are often left after starting an IV or opening supplies used in the baby's care. A 7-month-old should be taking solid food. This would not be stopped to promote safety. The baby does not understand the meaning of no and will need to be stopped or prevented from doing something potentially dangerous. The baby should be checked much more often than once per shift.

Answer to Question 2

C
