Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A pediatric fall risk score of 0 to 7 demonstrates low risk for falls, whereas a score of 8 to 17 indicates a high risk for falls. Because this child demonstrates a high risk for falls he or she should have assistance with transfers and walking.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Crutchfield tongs are inserted into the skull. Any alteration in mental status could signify a serious complication, such as infection or intracranial bleeding (both are rare but possible). The nurse would not need to report crusted drainage, irritability and pain, or a normal white blood cell count.
