Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A The child in a Pavlik harness needs special attention to skin care because the
infant's skin is sensitive and the harness may cause irritation.
B The harness should not affect normal bowel function in the infant.
C Families are typically instructed on techniques for holding and feeding. The
harness should not affect feeding patterns in the infant.
D The harness should not affect normal respiratory function in the infant.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A positive aspect of the extended family is the availability of many people for child care and support. The family needs to call on this strength and ask another family member to help with the child support until the grandmother recovers. One negative aspect of the extended family is reduced resources because of fewer wage earners. This is not the case because both primary parents are working. Asking for one parent to reduce work hours would be a negative suggestion. Having the children go to the grandmother's home after school would negatively impact the grandmother's healing and is an inappropriate suggestion to make at this time. Recommending the children learn independence and stay at home alone could be a safety issue and would be an inappropriate suggestion at this time.
