Answer to Question 1

A
The child will likely not be potty-trained. Children at this age have achieved voluntary control of the sphincters but are not usually ready to begin potty training until later. It is highly unlikely that the child wakes up dry from naps or from a night's sleep.

Answer to Question 2

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Home infant phototherapy is secondary prevention in which the goal is to reverse or reduce the severity of diseases.
B Incorrect. Home antibiotic referral services is an example of secondary prevention.
C Incorrect. A pediatric hospice means the client has been removed from the home for care in a health care facility which infers long term services. Pediatric hospice services are an example of tertiary prevention.
D Correct. Primary prevention involves interventions for children that promote health and prevent disease processes from developing. Teaching new mothers how to perform infant care best exemplifies primary prevention.
