Answer to Question 1

4
Feedback
1. The percentage of burn should be reviewed.
2. A history should be taken to identify if the pattern of injury is consistent.
3. The age of the child determines the size of the burn in proportion to the body.
4. All of the above considerations should be reviewed.

Answer to Question 2

D
A child should be supervised when playing with the pet. Toddlers do not have good coordination or judgment and can unintentionally hurt or startle an animal. The animal may bite or injure the child. Toddlers should not feed an animal or interfere with an animal while it is eating.
