A nurse is reinforcing teaching about home safety with the guardians of a toddler. Which of the following statements by a guardian indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. Gently cleanse the surgical site with sterile gauze: direct vigorous cleansing of the palate surgical site with gauze is generally avoided to prevent disruption of sutures. Oral rinses or specific gentle cleaning methods may be prescribed, but direct gauze wiping is usually not recommended.
B. Offer a pacifier with glucose syrup: acifiers and any sucking on objects (including straws, spoons, or toys) are typically contraindicated after cleft palate repair because the sucking motion puts stress on the suture line and can disrupt healing.
C. Apply elbow immobilizers to both arms: Elbow immobilizers prevent the infant from bending their elbows and bringing their hands to their mouth or face, which could disrupt the surgical sutures, cause trauma, or introduce infection to the delicate palate repair.
D. Place the infant in a supine position: A semi-upright position is usually preferred to reduce pressure on the surgical site and prevent aspiration, rather than placing the infant flat on their back.

A. Administer magnesium sulfate IM to the child: Seizures are typically managed with anticonvulsant medications or other specific treatments, but magnesium sulfate is primarily used in other conditions, such as preeclampsia in pregnant women.
B. Place a folded blanket under the child's head: Placing a folded blanket or soft material under the child's head is a safe action to prevent injury during a tonic-clonic seizure. It helps protect the head from hitting the floor or any hard surfaces during the seizure.
C. Prevent movement of the child's extremities: It is not recommended to try to prevent movement of the child's extremities during a tonic-clonic seizure. Trying to restrain or hold the child down can cause injury. The goal is to ensure the child’s safety and prevent injury.
D. Put a tongue blade between the child's teeth: Inserting a tongue blade between the child’s teeth is dangerous and should never be done. It could lead to injury, including broken teeth or damage to the child's mouth or throat.
