Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Thinner skin does not explain why it is easier to palpate a full bladder on infants and children.
B Incorrect. Infants and children have smaller bladders than adults, this does not explain why it is easier to palpate a full bladder on infants and children.
C Correct. The bladder presents itself in young children close to the anterior abdominal wall, and with growth, lowers into the pelvis. For these reasons it is easy to palpate a full bladder on infants and young children.
D Incorrect. The bladder of infants and children is not oversized at birth, this does not explain why it is easier to palpate a full bladder on infants and children.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. Lead causes a fluid shift into the brain tissues, not bleeding in the ventricles.
B Incorrect. Lead in the central nervous system causes serious damage in the brain, some say irreversible damage. The pituitary is not affected.
C Correct. Lead causes an increase in membrane permeability, causing a fluid shift into brain tissue, producing increased intracranial pressure, ischemia, and cellular destruction.
D Incorrect. Seizures may result, but not to be confused with status epilepticus.
