Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
The medication should be swabbed slowly as medication needs to be in contact with lesions as long as possible. The medication should be applied multiple times per day with the remainder being put in the infant's mouth. Because infants may refuse to nurse due to oral discomfort, dehydration may occur.
