Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Normal saline is the usual solution for an enema for a child. For a school-age child, the amount of solution should be between 300 and 500 ml. Tap water is not used for an enema because it is not isotonic and can cause rapid shifts of fluids, leading to water intoxication. Milk of molasses is used to relieve a fecal impaction.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Children develop through play, so a child without any toys may have trouble developing the motor skills appropriate to his age. Maternal depression is a risk factor for poor cognitive development. Inadequate diet will cause growth deficiencies. A child who does not respond to a loud noise probably has hearing loss, which will lead to a language deficit.
