Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The U.S. Department of Commerce requires toy guns to be distinguished from real guns. In many cases, the toy industry has established voluntary safety standards to minimize risk of injury. There is not specific legislation from the U.S. Department of Commerce that outlines the materials that must be used in darts of toy guns or banning the use of reflective or lead-based paint or lead products.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
This situation addressed the need for client autonomy. When considering client autonomy, the nurse must consider the following questions. In the specific case, who should make health care decisions for a young client, especially when opposing opinions arise? The client? The parents or guardian? The nurse or other health care professional? At what age does a child become mature enough to participate in such decision making? What laws does any given state have that affect adolescent client autonomy? What should the community health nurse do if he or she believes the client's or parent's decisions are not in the best interest of the client?
