Answer to Question 1

B
The child deserves honest information. The hair will sometimes grow back a different color or texture. Minimizing the child's concerns is not appropriate or helpful.

Answer to Question 2

A, C

Feedback
Correct For the infant, the preferred injection site is the vastus lateralis.
The rectus femoris is also an acceptable option.
