Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Rope swings and trampolines are not recommended for playgrounds. Action should be taken by the nurse because these items are dangerous. Close supervision will not prevent an accidental in-jury from occurring. Writing a letter to be shared at the next city council meeting is not a timely response by the nurse.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Prevention strategies are necessary to reduce the incidence of AHT. Parental education and sup-port is necessary to prevent child maltreatment. Taking at-risk babies out of violent households, placing babies under the care of community health nurses, and helping those affected seek proper legal representation are not prevention strategies.
