Homework Answers
The nurse identifies which of the following clients as being at the highest risk for injury?
A. A 3-month-old child is in an infant seat that her mother places on the coffee table.
B. A 2-year-old is laying alone in the living room.
C. A 21/2-year-old with a tracheotomy is eating raisins.
D. A 10 year stays home alone for half an hour after school.
Answer :
The nurse identifies that option C is at the highest risk for injury. As children, under the age of 4 years are not able to grind their food into small pieces. Therefore, food items that are small and tiny like grapes, berries, grapes, raisins etc should be avoided Especially if the child has got tracheostomy the nurse needs to be cautious while giving meals to the child.
The other option is not applicable to the highest risk of injury as:
- A 3-month-old child is in an infant seat that her mother places on the coffee table.
The 3-month-old child is safe as he is seated in an infant chair on the coffee table and also the mother is around the baby and therefore the baby is safe as compared to the other options.
- A 2-year-old is laying alone in the living room.
A 2-year-old child is laying alone in the living room, it can be dangerous only if the child is left alone and unattended for a longer period of time, for some time the toddler can spend time in play.
- A 10 year stays home alone for half an hour after school.
A child of 10 years is left alone for half an hour, he is a school going child and can stay alone for a short span of time. This child is therefore not at the highest risk for injury.
Therefore ‘option C: A 21/2-year-old with a tracheotomy is eating raisins’ is at the highest risk for injury.
