2. Since everyone metabolizes liquor differently, the client who is driving should not drink at all.
3. Drinking alcohol on a regular basis can be the beginning of addiction and dependence.
4. Cocaine can cause severe cardiovascular ramifications at any age and is to be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3

2. The nurse should not remove the bracelet or ask the mother to remove the bracelet, as this could be a cultural or religious talisman.
3. The nurse should inquire about the bracelet and then decide with the parent what other options might be safe for the infant.
4. The baby could choke on the beads, but to just state that without any sensitivity could result in the mother's not listening to anything the nurse suggests. The goal is the infant's safety, and diplomacy is needed in this situation.
