Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goals for preschool-age children focus on safety and include protecting preschoolers against secondhand smoke, using recommended automobile restraints, and fitting children with helmets before beginning bicycle riding. Removing houseplants and posting the telephone number of the poison control agency would be appropriate for families with toddlers.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
For the preterm infant experiencing respiratory distress, the nurse would expect to handle the newborn as little as possible to reduce oxygen requirements. Other appropriate interventions include keeping the infant warm, preferably in a warmed isolette to conserve the baby's energy and prevent cold stress; administer oxygen using an oxygen hood; and provide energy through calories via intravenous dextrose or gavage or continuous tube feedings to prevent hypoglycemia.
