Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Participation in sports such as soccer is a frequent cause of knee injuries in children and usually involves the ligaments surrounding the knee. Immediately after the injury, the child reports severe pain in the knee, and localized edema becomes evident. Erythema, contusions, and mottled skin are not associated with a knee injury caused by participation in a sport.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Common safety rules to avoid snake bites include being aware that snakes like to sit in the sun on warm rocks. The child should look at a rock before touching it to prevent a snake bite. Wearing long pants will not necessarily prevent snake bits. Snakes should not be poked or sprayed with water. Snakes should be identified in underbrush and under rocks. Snakes should also be identified by sound and markings.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors.

Though newer “smart” infusion pumps are increasingly becoming more sophisticated, they cannot prevent all programming and administration errors.
