Answer to Question 1

nuclear event
A nuclear event involves a device that releases nuclear energy in an explosive manner as the result of a nuclear chain reaction.

Answer to Question 2

D
D. A mummy restraint is used in the short term for a small child or infant for examination or treatment involving the head and neck. This would be the most appropriate type of restraint to use for a 1-year-old who is going to receive an IV line.

B. The jacket restraint is being stopped as an appropriate restraint because many client deaths have been associated with this restraint.
C. An elbow restraint is commonly used with infants and children to prevent elbow flexion, such as after an IV line is in place.
