A 10-year-old with a burn on the palm of the hand: This could potentially be accidental, for example, from touching a hot surface. However, while it requires further investigation, it is not as strongly indicative of abuse as the given option.

A 6-year-old with splash burns on the front torso: These burns could result from accidentally spilling hot liquids. Though it raises concern, it often indicates an accident rather than abuse unless accompanied by other suspicious signs.

A 2-year-old with a large bruise on the forehead: This type of injury is common in young children who are prone to falls and bumps. It might not immediately suggest abuse without additional context.

Keep the newborn in a well-lit nursery: A well-lit nursery can overstimulate a preterm newborn. Preterm infants benefit more from a dim, quiet environment that mimics the womb.

Cluster the newborn's care activities: This helps minimize disruptions to the newborn’s rest periods, which is crucial for their growth and neurodevelopment. Clustering care reduces stress and promotes better sleep cycles.

Use fingertips when calming the newborn: Using fingertips might be too stimulating for a preterm newborn. Instead, a gentle, whole-hand touch is often more comforting and less likely to cause overstimulation.

Establish IV access: Although important for hydration and medication administration, it is not the immediate priority when assessing the fetal condition.

Assess the client's vital signs: While important, the immediate assessment of fetal well-being takes precedence to ensure there is no fetal distress.

Perform a sterile vaginal exam: This should follow the fetal heart rate assessment to check for labor progress and any complications, but it is not the first priority.

Ensuring that the client takes care of their ADLS to prevent dependence: While promoting independence is important, ensuring safety is a higher priority to prevent immediate harm.

Ensuring that the client receives food they like to prevent anxiety: Although providing familiar and preferred foods can reduce anxiety, it is not as critical as ensuring a safe environment.

Ensuring that the client meets the other patients to prevent social isolation: Social interaction is beneficial, but ensuring safety takes precedence to prevent potential harm.

Use physical restraints during severe outbursts to ensure safety: Restraints should only be used as a last resort and are not an effective or ethical primary strategy for managing behavior in children with ODD.

Assign daily chores that are challenging to encourage discipline: Assigning overly challenging chores may lead to frustration and non-compliance, exacerbating behavioral issues rather than helping.

Encourage solitary play to reduce social stressors: Isolating the child may worsen feelings of exclusion and does not address the need for social skills development and appropriate behavior in social contexts.

Reprimand the client about the potential damage that has occurred due to overexercising her body: Reprimanding is likely to increase feelings of guilt and shame, which can exacerbate the disorder. A supportive and empathetic approach is more beneficial.

Praise the client for looking at herself in a mirror: This could reinforce a negative preoccupation with body image, which is a significant aspect of anorexia nervosa. Encouraging healthy coping mechanisms is more appropriate.

Restrict the client from being weighed: While it is important to manage weight monitoring carefully, outright restriction without addressing the underlying issues can increase anxiety and resistance to treatment.

Implementing stress management workshops for employees in a workplace: This is an example of primary prevention, which aims to reduce the risk of mental health issues by promoting healthy behaviors and coping mechanisms.

Promoting mental health awareness and education in the community: This also falls under primary prevention, focusing on reducing the incidence of mental health issues through education and awareness.

Conducting mental health screenings in schools to identify students at risk for mental health issues: This is a form of secondary prevention, which involves early identification and intervention to prevent the progression of mental health issues.

"Apply cold compresses when your child expresses pain." Cold can cause vasoconstriction, which may precipitate a sickle cell crisis by reducing blood flow to the extremities, thus increasing the risk of sickling of red blood cells. Warm compresses are recommended to help alleviate pain by promoting blood flow.

"Restrict outdoor play activity to 1 hour per day." While it's important to monitor physical activity to avoid overexertion, restricting outdoor play to a specific time frame without considering other factors like hydration and rest isn't the right approach. Physical activity is important but should be balanced with adequate hydration and rest.

"Monitor your child's temperature daily." While monitoring temperature is important, it isn't specifically critical on a daily basis unless there is a suspicion of infection. The primary focus should be on hydration and recognizing signs of infection.
