The nurse is transporting the toddler to radiology. How should this transport take place?
1. The toddler is transported by crib.
2. The toddler is transported by wheelchair.
3. The toddler is transported by stretcher.
4. The toddler is transported by the nurse carrying the child.
Correct Answer: 1
A toddler or infant should always be transported in a crib. If the nurse carried the child and something unexpected happened, there would be no way for the nurse to hold the child and provide care. It is far safer to put the child in a crib with high sides to prevent the child from falling out. A wheelchair or stretcher would not be safe to transport a young child because she could fall out and injure herself.
