Answer to Question 1

1
Feedback
1. Eustachian tubes are short and do not provide adequate draining for mucous during an upper respiratory infection in children.
2. Immunity and susceptibility to infections cause the primary illness. Otitis media is a secondary illness.
3. A child that is positioned correctly during bottle feedings is not at an increased risk for otitis media.
4. Eustachian tubes are short and do not provide adequate draining for mucous during an upper respiratory infection in children, causing only one answer to be correct.

Answer to Question 2

A, C
PKU and congenital hypothyroidism would result in intellectual disability, except for the fact that early testing can identify these children and preventative treatment can be initiated.
