Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Protection of the peristomal skin is a major priority. Well-fitting appliances and skin protectants are used. Teaching how to irrigate a colostomy is not necessary because colostomies are not irrigated in infants. The colostomy is usually reversed within 6 months to 1 year. The parents, not the infant, need to be prepared for the surgery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Involving children helps to gain their cooperation. Permitting choices gives them some measure of control. The other options would not be appropriate for a preschool child.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
