Answer to Question 1

A
Educating parents or guardians about reducing risks of injuries to children and teaching ways to prevent accidents include the use of safety seats, as well as age-appropriate toys and placement of covers on electrical outlets.

Answer to Question 2

C
Pharmacokinetics is the study of how medications enter the body, reach their site of action, metabolize, and exit the body. Nurses use knowledge of pharmacokinetics to time medication administration, select the route of administration, predict the patient's risk for alterations in medication action, and evaluate the patient's response to the medication.
