Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Parents should be instructed to use a three-prong plug for safety, keep a diaper in place, and expose as much skin as possible. The light source should be placed on a nonabsorbent surface, not on carpet or in a crib. It is not necessary to cover the infant's eyes when under the light.
