Answer to Question 1

C
Injuries, not contagious diseases, are a major cause of death during infancy, especially for child-ren 6 to 12 months old. The leading causes of injury to infants are falls, ingestion injuries (poison, foreign body ingestion, and medication), and burns. Aspiration often occurs from the ingestion of foreign material such as small toys and food items. The question is asking for a safe environment assessment and childhood safety; measles is an illness/disease caused by a pathogen and does not relate to providing a safe environment or information about childhood safety. All infants and toddlers should ride in a rear-facing car safety seat until they are 2 years of age or until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by the manufacturer of the car seat.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
By asking the client to describe the accident, the nurse is using assessment skills to collect more information about the client's condition. The nurse is interviewing the client to collect related data. The nurse is not using comforting skills, as the nurse is not providing any emotional support. The counseling skills of the nurse are also not used, as no health education is provided. Caring skills include assistance provided with the activities of daily living, which is not applicable in this scenario.
