Answer to Question 1

ANS:
2

Follow the formula for dosage calculation.

Desired
-----------  Quantity = Tablets per dose
Available

20 mg
-----------  1 = 2 tabs
10 mg

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Nasal flaring is an indication of respiratory distress. A nasal occlusion should prevent the child from breathing through the nose. Because newborns are obligatory nose breathers, this should require immediate referral. Snuffles are indicated by a thick, bloody nasal discharge without sneezing. Sneezing and thin, white mucus drainage are common in newborns and are not related to nasal flaring.

It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
