Erythema margination is a classic sign of rheumatic fever. The other symptoms are not indicators of this problem.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. The preferred injection site for infants is vastus lateralis. The rectus femoris is also an acceptable site and may be used as an alternative or to rotate injection sites.
B Incorrect. The preferred injection site for infants is vastus lateralis. The rectus femoris is also an acceptable site and may be used as an alternative or to rotate injection sites.
C Incorrect. The ventrogluteal injection site may be used for children older than 3 years of age who have been walking for several years.
D Incorrect. The deltoid muscle is generally used only in children over 4-5 years of age due to the small muscle mass, but it can also be used for immunizations in the child over 1 1/2 years of age since only a small amount of fluid is injected.
