Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Although the nursing assistive personnel can apply the restraints under the nurse's direction, they cannot document, evaluate, or take physician's orders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Newborns should not be placed in cribs with loose comforters, bumper pads, etc. The middle of the back seat is the safest place to put the infant car seat. Babies should not be placed on their stomachs with their mouth and nose in close proximity to the mattress, which is associated with sudden death syndrome. Lead paint on infant toys can lead to brain damage.
