Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The brachial or apical pulse is the best site for assessing an infant's or a young child's pulse because other peripheral pulses such as the radial, femoral, and popliteal arteries are deep and difficult to palpate accurately.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The nurse is responsible for assessing changes in body temperature. The nursing assistive personnel can use the appropriate route and device to measure temperature, obtain temperature measurement at ordered frequency, and be aware of the usual values for the patient.
