Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Toddlers are egocentric, and telling the toddler how well another child behaved or cooperated probably will not help gain this child's cooperation. Allowing the child to touch and hold the equipment, permitting the child to sit on the parent's lap during the exam, and offering praise immediately for cooperating would foster cooperation.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Balanoposthitis is inflammation of the glans and prepuce of the penis. The prepuce and glans appear red and swollen; there may be a purulent discharge. The nurse is unable to determine sperm production without a sperm count. The child may have difficulty voiding because of crusting at the meatal opening and because acidic urine touching the denuded surface of the glans causes pain. A bloody urethral discharge is not associated with this disorder.
