Answer to Question 1

B, C, D, E
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to prevent unintentional injuries in children by providing counseling on safety precautions to parents and children and always help assess whether injuries were unintentional or could be child maltreatment or self-injury. The legal aspects of child abuse would not be appropriate for this presentation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Debridement is the removal of necrotic tissue on which microorganisms could thrive from a burned area to reduce the possibility of infection. Debridement does not relieve pain but rather is a very painful procedure. Debridement does not influence extremity mobility. The need for skin grafts depends on the depth of the burned tissue.
