Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
If instructions are to be provided to a child who does not understand English, and an interpreter is not present, the nurse can use draw a picture to explain the procedure. The nurse does not need to involve the parents in this teaching need. The interpreter is unavailable. It is not known if the interpreter can be reached by telephone. School-age children need to be instructed prior to performing any procedure.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has been associated with prone positioning of newborns and infants, so the infant should be placed to sleep on the back. The baby should sleep on a firm mattress without pillows or comforters. The baby's bed should be placed away from air conditioner vents, open windows, and open heaters. By 4 months of age night waking may occur, but the infant should be capable of sleeping through the night and does not require a night feeding.
