Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale: The priority intervention is to orient the child to furniture placement in the room. This is priority because it addresses basic safety for a visually impaired client.Policies,handling equipment,and tours can be done at a later time.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2

A flat lying position may exacerbate the discomfort.Elevatin g the head slightly is recommended. Decongestants are not recommended for treatment of acute otitis media.Placing infants to sleep with a pacifier may increase the incidence of otitis media.
