2. The child is permitted to participate, unsupervised, in target practice with a revolver.
3. The child is a latchkey child.
4. The parents are in a methadone program.
2
Rationale 1: Inappropriate behaviors, such as drug and alcohol use or past use, also place the child at risk, but the use of firearms carries the greatest risk.
Rationale 2: Of all the activities mentioned, playing with guns is the greatest risk for injury.
Rationale 3: A latchkey child needs special attention, but in the current situation, unsupervised gun use is the greatest risk.
Rationale 4: Inappropriate behaviors, such as drug and alcohol use or past use, also place the child at risk, but the use of firearms carries the greatest risk.

The nurse contacts the physician and suspects that the patient has developed a. pulmonary edema. b. hemorrhage. c. acute lung failure. d. bronchopleural fistula.
