Answer to Question 1

D

Feedback
A Incorrect. Finding that the baby has creamy-white plaques on the buccal mucosa and lateral borders of the tongue, the nurse will not send a sample of the plaques to the lab for a thrush test.
B Incorrect. Finding that the baby has creamy-white plaques on the buccal mucosa and lateral borders of the tongue, the nurse will not scrape a sample of the plaques, and look at it under the microscope.
C Incorrect. Finding that the baby has creamy-white plaques on the buccal mucosa and lateral borders of the tongue, the nurse will not give the baby something acidic to drink such as sweetened lemonade.
D Correct. Thrush is characterized by the development of creamy-white plaques on the buccal mucosa and lateral borders of the tongue. Lesions gradually become confluent and may cover the entire oral cavity. The plaques associated with thrush can be distinguished from residual milk curds by their inability to be removed from the buccal mucosa. The nurse will do a simple scraping; milk curds will scrape away and thrush will not.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. The age then puberty begins and how long adolescence lasts varies individually and cross-culturally.
B Incorrect. The age of onset for puberty is not the same for all females, nor is it only slightly different for males and females.
C Incorrect. The age of onset for puberty is not the same for all females, nor is it only slightly different for males and females.
D Incorrect. The age then puberty begins does not depend on the person's culture.
