Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

Establishing a buddy system provides social contact, safeguards against abuse, and offers respite for caregivers. It also provides a way for elders to be checked up on daily. The client may resent imposed limitations and act out in such a way as to cause injury. Making uninformed choices about one's health could be unsafe instead of safe to the client. A routine should be established for medication administration with correct dosage to prevent the possibility of overdose toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Alcohol consumption is a safety hazard for the fetus, and pregnant women should be educated about the importance of not drinking alcoholic beverages while pregnant. Suffocation in the crib is a safety hazard for both newborns and infants. Drowning is seen in toddlers and preschoolers, and pedestrian accidents are seen in the older adult.
