Answer to Question 1

D
The suture line of a cleft lip repair should be cleaned using sterile saline to loosen the crusts and blotting dry with a gauze pad.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The term that kid should not be used because it minimizes the dignity of children.
B Incorrect. The term the diabetic kid should not be used. This term identifies the child by the disease, diabetes. As stated in A the term kid is inappropriate.
C Correct. The term the child with diabetes is preferred then referring to a child who has diabetes. This term emphasizes that he is a child with a health problem. Any other term labels or stereotypes the child and can have detrimental effects.
D Incorrect. The cute diabetic child is inappropriate because it identifies the child by the disease.
