Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The nurse should teach the client to keep hot substances away from the baby to prevent burns in the baby. Infants are not very mobile and depend on their parents for their care. Keeping hot substances on the table, monitoring the activities of the infant closely, and keeping the infant away from the kitchen are important but may not be appropriate as the baby is not yet mobile.

Answer to Question 2

C
During transferring, if a client has weakness in one of side of the body, ensure the transfer is made leading off with the client's strongest side first.
