Answer to Question 1

D
A, B, C, and D. The vastus lateralis is the preferred site for infants under 12 months of age.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient should remain in the side-lying position, with the treated ear upward for a few minutes. Upright, prone, and dorsal recumbent positions are not recommended after administration of eardrops. The eardrops would run out of the ear canal.
