This statement reflects an important recommendation for car seat safety. It is recommended to keep infants and toddlers rear-facing in their car seats until they reach the age of 2 or until they outgrow the height and weight limits specified by the car seat manufacturer. Rear-facing car seats provide better protection for the child's head, neck, and spine in the event of a crash. "I should position the car seat's retainer clip at the level of my baby's belly button." The correct position for the retainer clip is at armpit level. It should be positioned across the chest, resting on the bony part of the child's shoulders. Placing the retainer clip at the level of the belly button can be unsafe and may not provide proper protection.

"I should enable the airbag when my baby is in the front seat of the car." It is not recommended to place a rear-facing car seat in the front seat of a vehicle with an active airbag. The force of the airbag deployment can cause serious injuries to the child. The safest place for a rear-facing car seat is in the back seat of the vehicle.

"I should place my baby in the car seat at a 90-degree angle." The angle at which the car seat is installed depends on the specific instructions provided by the car seat manufacturer. It is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper installation. Some car seats have built-in angle indicators or adjustable recline positions to help achieve the correct angle for optimal safety.

Choice A: While nitroglycerin is a common medication for angina, calling the provider after just one dose is not the recommended action. Nitroglycerin helps relax coronary arteries and improve blood supply to the heart. However, if chest pain persists, the client should follow additional steps..

Choice B: This describes the Valsalva maneuver, which involves holding the breath and bearing down as though straining to initiate a bowel movement. While this technique can regulate heart rhythms and help the ears to pop, it is not the recommended response to chest pain from angina.

Choice C: Correct: This statement demonstrates an understanding of appropriate action. When experiencing angina, the client should stop any physical activity, sit down, or lie down. Resting helps reduce the heart’s workload and allows blood flow to stabilize.

Choice D: Aspirin can be beneficial during angina episodes. However, the recommended dose is usually 162 to 325 milligrams (one tablet). Taking two tablets at once may not be necessary unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider.
