Answer to Question 1

A
The nurse would use an oral syringe, because it is the most accurate. Teaspoons are often inaccurate and do not hold a standard amount. It is hard to be accurate with a small dose using a calibrated cup. The nipple is useful but does not have anything to do with accuracy.

Answer to Question 2

D
The Ross Cleft Palate Nurser has a tubelike nipple that delivers milk beyond the cleft.
