A volunteer assigned to the pediatric unit reports to the charge nurse for an assignment. Which of the following assignments is unsafe for the volunteer?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B because transporting a school-age client in traction requires specialized training and knowledge to prevent injury. Playing a computer game with an adolescent, reading to a preschool client, and rocking an infant are safe activities that do not pose any risk to the volunteer or the patient. Choice B involves physical handling of a client in a delicate condition, which should only be done by trained healthcare professionals to ensure the safety and well-being of the client. The other choices involve activities that can provide comfort and support to the patients without posing any risk of harm.
