Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Assessment of the home environment is essential prior to discharge of a medically fragile infant. The use of a woodstove poses great risk to the infant who already has fragile lungs. Oxygen and woodstove heat will produce a flammable reaction. Small toy pieces and paint peeling from the wall will pose a choking risk to the older infant who is crawling. Ear infections are not contagious.
