Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In rural counties, nonfatal firearm injuries occur most often at home compared with urban counties, where injuries occur most often in the streets.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Nurses should pay attention, particularly when parents intuitively whisper, Something is not right. A well-meaning health care provider may attempt to reassure a concerned mother. However, this kind of response may create silence and delay further questions by the parent. Rather than decrease parental concern, it may increase anxiety. The nurse can serve as an intermediary, working among the family and the health care team, to address parental concerns and client goals.
