Answer to Question 1

A
If the nurse suspects aspiration in a child who is coughing vigorously, the nurse should encourage the child to continue coughing. If coughing weakens, the nurse should perform the choking maneuver by administering five rapid back blows alternated with five upward thrusts to the upper abdomen with a fisted hand, just below the rib cage. A blind finger sweep should never be performed because it could push the foreign object into the airway.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse can delegate applying and removing the restraints, skin care, and checking for skin breakdown. The nurse responsible for care of the patient must assess the patient's need for restraint and the patient's status and must evaluate the patient's response to restraints.
