Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Percussion notes that are loud in amplitude, low in pitch, of a booming quality, and long in duration are normal over a child's lung.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Bimanual palpation requires the use of both hands to envelop or capture certain body parts or organs such as the kidneys, uterus, or adnexa. The other situations are not appropriate for bimanual palpation.
