Answer to Question 1

C
The infant's stomach empties in 2 to 4 hours.

Answer to Question 2

A
The child is instructed to lay flat for a certain amount of time in order to decrease the chance of developing a spinal headache. Ambulation and a high Fowler's position would increase the likelihood of having a spinal headache.
