Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
With a submersion injury, hypoxia is the primary problem. Therefore, assessment of airway, breathing, and circulation are the priority assessments for which the nurse would institute resuscitative measures. Other assessments such as level of consciousness, vital signs, and papillary response would be done once the child's airway, breathing, and circulation are assessed and emergency interventions are instituted.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Community health nurses, not community-based nurses, perform epidemiologic investigations to help analyze and develop health policy and community health initiatives. Community-based nurses are involved in teaching, such as childbirth education classes; counseling, such as with a pregnant teenager; and consulting with clients.
