Explanation:
1. Paint peeling from the wall will pose a choking risk to the older infant who is crawling.
2. Assessment of the home environment is essential prior to discharge of a medically fragile infant. The use of a wood stove poses great risk to the infant who already has fragile lungs and is a fire hazard when using oxygen in the home environment.
3. Ear infections are not contagious.
4. Small toy pieces will pose a choking risk to the older infant who is crawling.
