Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The risk for motor vehicle accidents is greater among adolescents than for any other age group. Factors associated with this include the inability to assess hazardous situations while driving, speeding, driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, and a low compliance with seat-belt use. Females are actually less likely to be in a motor vehicle crash than males. Late-night driving does not appear to increase risk. Although teens are often sleep deprived, this does not appear to be related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all infants be placed on their backs when sleeping. This is probably new information the mother did not have for her older children. If the mother is concerned about plagiocephaly (misshapen head), she can be taught to place the baby on the stomach with a small rolled towel under the arms for support and comfort. Alternating positions in the crib and side-lying for short periods in the presence of an adult are also alternatives. Documentation should always occur, but is not the most important action. Telling the mother that babies need to sleep on their sides at all times is incorrect. Sleeping on the back is important for all infants.
