Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback
A The major reason for poisoning in the home is improper storage. Toddlers can
climb, unlatch cabinets, and obtain access to high-security places. For
medications, only a locked cabinet is safe.
B Toddlers can climb by using furniture. High places are not a deterrent to an
exploring toddler.
C Toddlers are not able to generalize as dangerous all of the different forms of
medications that may be available in the home.
D This is not feasible. Many parents require medications for chronic illnesses.
Parents must be taught safe storage for their home and when they visit other
homes.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. The newborn is not delivered on its side.
2. Direct tracheal suctioning by specially trained personnel is recommended for infants who experience absent or depressed respirations, heart rate less than 80 beats per minute, or poor muscle tone.
3. Positive pressure is not used to expand lungs.
4. Intrapartum suctioning after the head of the newborn is delivered is no longer recommended.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
