1. The nurse knows that which statement by the mother indicates that
the mother understands safety precautions with her four month-old
infant and her 4 year-old child?
A) "I strap the infant car seat on the front seat to face backwards."
B)
"I place my infant in the middle of the living room floor on a
blanket to play with my 4 year old while I make supper in the
kitchen."
C) "My sleeping baby lies so cute in the crib with the little buttocks
stuck up in the air while the four year old naps on the sofa."
D) "I have the 4 year-old hold and help feed the four month-old a
bottle in the kitchen while I make supper."
Review Information: The correct answer is D: "I have the four
year-old hold and help feed the four month-old a bottle in the kitchen
while I make supper." The infant seat is to be placed on the rear seat.
Small children and infants are not to be left unsupervised. Infants are
to be placed on their "back when they go back" to sleep or are lying in
a crib. A 4 year-old could assist with the care of an infant with proper
supervision. This enhances bonding with the infant and the
developmental needs of the preschooler to "help" and not feel left out.
2. Upon completing the admission documents, the nurse learns that
the 87 year-old client does not have an advance directive. What action
should the nurse take?
A) Record the information on the chart
B) Give information about advance directives
C) Assume that this client wishes a full code
D) Refer this issue to the unit secretary
Review Information: The correct answer is B: Give information
about advance directives
For each admission, nurses should request a copy of the current
advance directive. If there is none, the nurse must offer information
about what an advance directive implies. It is then the client’s choice
to sign it. In option 1 just recording the information is not sufficient.
In option 3 the nurse should not assume that the client has been
informed of choices for emergency care. In option 4 this represents an
inappropriate delegation approach.
