Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: Normal variations for the infant client include sucking pads in the mouth, a rounded chest, and hearing breath sounds over the entire chest. Pubertal development and knock-knees are not normal variations for the infant client.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2,4
Rationale: Allowing the client to stay on the parents lap and allowing the client to play with instruments that will be used in the assessment process are activities the nurse can implement to gain the toddler's cooperation during the assessment process. Asking the parents to wait outside may cause the toddler to become fearful. Vaccinations should be administered at the end of the visit. While making a game out of the assessment process may be appropriate for older children, this is not an appropriate strategy for a toddler client.
