Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Precocious puberty in a female is suspected when any secondary sex characteristics begin to develop before the age of 9 years. A child who is assessed at Tanner stage II has some breast development, pubic hair development, or both.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
This child has manifestations of dehydration, and with the frequent soaked diapers, may have diabetes insipidus. Assessments of circulation take priority. The nurse assesses the other factors, but they can wait until more important assessments have been completed.
