Answer to Question 1

C
Gender and age determine catheter size. A 12 Fr catheter may be considered for use in young girls. The prescriber may order a larger size. For infants, 5 to 6 Fr is generally used; for children, 8 to 10 Fr with a 3-mL balloon is used; and 14 to 16 Fr is indicated for adult women.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Pale eye membranes, cheilosis, and glossitis are all signs of iron deficiency. Spongy, bleeding gingiva is indicative of inadequate vitamin C intake.
