Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse should measure the occipital-frontal circumference (OFC) of the head for children up to 3 years of age and for any child with a head size that is in question. The nurse should then plot measurements on a growth chart and compare them against normal sizes for the child's age group to determine any abnormalities. The nurse should measure the chest at the child's nipple line, not an inch below the nipple line, using a paper tape measure.

Answer to Question 2

D
