A public health nurse is planning strategies to address substance use for clients in the community. Which of the following strategies are part of primary health promotion and prevention?

A. Boil bottle rings and nipples for 10 min to ensure sanitization. Boiling for 10 minutes is excessive and can damage bottle parts. A boil time of 5 minutes is typically sufficient for sanitizing feeding equipment before first use.
B. Keep the newborn on a strict 3 hr feeding schedule. Newborns should be fed on demand, which may be more or less frequently than every 3 hours. Hunger cues should guide feeding to promote healthy growth and bonding.
C. Use bottles of refrigerated formula within 48 hr. Prepared formula should be refrigerated and used within 48 hours to ensure safety and prevent bacterial growth. This is a safe practice when storing formula that has not been fed to the infant.
D. Place the newborn on their abdomen for 30 min following each feeding. Placing a newborn on the abdomen increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Infants should always be placed on their backs to sleep.

A. Place the booster seat where there is an air bag in the vehicle. Booster seats should never be placed in front of an active air bag, especially in the front seat. Air bags can cause serious injury or death to young children in the event of deployment.
B. Avoid using the lap shoulder belt when the child is in a booster seat. A lap-shoulder belt is required for proper use of a booster seat. The shoulder belt helps distribute force across the child’s chest and shoulders in a crash. Using only a lap belt increases the risk of serious abdominal and spinal injuries.
C. Use a no-back booster seat if the vehicle seat has a headrest. This is correct and safe. A no-back booster is appropriate as long as the vehicle seat has a high back or headrest that provides support for the child’s neck and head, ensuring proper positioning of the seat belt.
D. Keep the booster seat rear-facing until the child weighs at least 16 kg (35.3 lb). Booster seats are designed for forward-facing children who have outgrown a forward-facing harness seat, typically around 4 years of age and 40 pounds. Rear-facing seats are used prior to booster seats, for infants and toddlers, not for booster seat-age children.
