Answer to Question 1

4
Feedback
1. The child does not have stitches.
2. Cleansing the area with peroxide will not keep the area dry.
3. A sterile dressing is not needed at this time because the steri strips are in place.
4. The steri strips should be left alone to fall off when the wound heals.

Answer to Question 2

B
Children continue to use a car seat or a booster seat at this age. Accidents remain the major cause of death and disability at this age. Any person riding a bike should wear a helmet. Preschoolers should never be given a potentially dangerous item to handle.
