Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E, F
The lesions of atopic dermatitis are generalized in the infant. They are most commonly on the cheeks, scalp, trunk, and extensor surfaces of the extremities. The buttocks and back are not common locations for the lesions of atopic dermatitis in infants.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Parents should be taught that toddlers should not disturb an animal that is eating, sleeping or caring for young puppies or kittens. The child should avoid all strange animals and not be encouraged to pet dogs in the neighborhood. The child should never approach a strange dog that is confined or restrained. The inexperienced child should not feed a dog (if the child pulls back when the animal moves to take the food, this can frighten and startle the animal).
