Answer to Question 1

A
When giving ear drops to a child younger than 3 years of age, pulling the earlobe down and back straightens the ear canal. This helps the nurse to place the ear drops where they are needed to be effective.

Answer to Question 2

D
Direct vasodilators and centrally acting drugs have higher incidences of side effects.
