Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C
Grouping children by size and skill level and using appropriate-size equipment are the best ac-tions to promote sports safety. Teenagers cannot adequately supervise children in sports activi-ties, and medical personnel do not need to be present at all sports events. Having an AED onsite is ideal, but may not be realistic.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Motivational interviewing is a focused communication strategy in which the parents are encour-aged to set goals, identify personal barriers, and identify potential mechanisms to overcome the barriers to make safety and health promotion changes for their child. Nurses use open-ended questioning and reflection to encourage sharing from the child and parents. The other questions may be viewed as being judgmental from the perspective of the client and the client may not answer the question truthfully.
