Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The nurse's priority in giving anticiatory guidance for an active 15 month old should focus on safety since a child at this age has an inquisitive, active mind and walks with an unsteady gait.
B Incorrect. A home visit is focused upon care in the home, not out of the home.
C Correct. The assessment of the home environment will include education about age-specific safety measures to be followed in a child's home.
D Incorrect. A home visit is not focused upon selecting educational toys and materials for this developmental age.

Answer to Question 2

A
Staphylococcus aureus is a dangerous organism. The infection can spread easily throughout the nursery. Staphylococcus aureus has been known to be resistant to antibiotics. Maternal antibodies may not offer adequate protection from this organism.
