Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should caution the mother that overly vigorous brushing should be avoided as it can injure or irritate the gums. The other statements are recommended guidelines for care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The child is a toddler and will be exploring areas throughout and outside of the home. With a hearing deficit, the child will not be able to hear any warnings from the parents. This increases the child's risk of injury related to the hearing loss. The child may or may not experience social isolation from the hearing loss. It is too soon to determine if the child will have impaired verbal communication, and it is unknown if the hearing deficit is congenital. The parents will be challenged to care for a sensory impaired child; however, the child's risk for injury would be the priority.
