Answer to Question 1

2, 4, 5
For an infant, the nurse's assessment must focus on safety, prevention of infection, and developmental milestones. Respiratory volume, heart size, and musculoskeletal system development are not areas in which the nurse should focus for a 10-month-old client.

Answer to Question 2

2
This objective addresses instruction that focuses on the health and safety of communities such as food safety, prevention of injury, and occupational health. Promoting healthy behaviors would include weight reduction and smoking cessation. Improve systems for personal health and public health would include immunization programs. Prevent and reduce diseases and disorders would include instruction on screening programs, physician visits, and routine health maintenance care.
