Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Bibs should be removed at bedtime to avoid suffocation. Placing gates or fences at stairways is an appropriate safety measure to prevent falls of the 8- to 12-month-old infant. Keeping bath-room doors closed is an appropriate safety measure to prevent drowning of the 8- to 12-month-old infant. Caution should be exercised when giving teething biscuits to a 4- to 7-month-old infant because large chunks may be broken off and aspirated. Teething biscuits are typically not given to a 3-month-old.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
Telling the child it's okay to cry and hold a toy informs the child what they can do, and involves an age-appropriate familiar toy to provide comfort. Telling the child not to move when they are in pain is unlikely to be effective. A preschool child may have difficulty in understanding the re-quest. Telling the child they are going to get a shot may increase their anxiety, as they fear bodily harm. If a child is allowed to determine the site for administration of an injection, specific sites should be offered as choices. However, the nurse needs to avoid allowing procrastination by the child.
