Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Prevention of cardiac arrest and injuries is the first step in the chain of survival in children in contrast to early emergency medical system (EMS) activation in adults. Integrated postcardiac arrest care is the last step in the chain for both adults and children. Early CPR is the second step in the chain for both adults and children.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The nurse needs to emphasize that a peer group that abuses substances is a risk factor associated with substance abuse and increases the chances of a child experimenting. Other risk factors include a family history of substance abuse, current parental substance abuse, and negative life events.
