Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Safety on the schoolyard and playground is also important for this age group, because about 200,000 children per year are injured on playgrounds in the United States. Thus, school playgrounds are the most likely place where children are injured. Injuries at entertainment sites, part-time job settings, and through modes of transportation are less likely to occur than injuries at school.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
IPV, formerly known as domestic violence, is a pattern of
coercive behaviors perpetrated by someone who is or was in an intimate relationship with the victim, such as a spouse, ex-spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend, or date. These behaviors may include battering resulting in physical injury, psychological abuse, and sexual assault that contributes to progressive social isolation and intimidation of the victim. Abuse is typically repetitive and often escalates in frequency and severity. IPV crosses all ethnic, racial, socioeconomic, and educational lines. About 30 of women and 1 of men report experiencing physical forms of IPV at some point in their lives. Thus, the nurse must assess for IPV.
