not increase the toddler's risk of foreign body obstruction.)

scope of practice. This will ensure that the nurse follows legal guidelines for his scope of
practice. If the nurse works in more than one state, he should check the nurse practice act for
each state, because guidelines for this procedure might differ from state to state. If the
procedure is within the nurse's scope of practice, he should take necessary steps to gain
competence in the procedure before performing it on a client.)
