Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The thermometer tip should be placed under the arm in the center of the axilla and kept close to the skin, not clothing. The temperature should not be taken through any clothing. The child's arm should be pressed firmly against the side, not held away from the body. The temperature should be recorded without a degree added and designated as being taken by the axillary method.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Skin turgor is one of the best estimates of adequate hydration and nutrition. It does not indicate amount of body fat and is not a test for anemia.
