Answer to Question 1

C
A raised area caused by an effusion of blood between the skull bone and the periosteum is known as a cephalohematoma. Caput succedaneum is the result of edema. A hemangioma is a vessel disorder and bulging a fontanel is due to increased intracranial pressure.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Sedation generally is not used with quick, minor procedures such as venipuncture.
2. EMLA cream is shown to be effective in providing topical anesthesia if applied at least 1 hour prior to the procedure.
3. A 3-year-old is too young to participate in techniques such as guided imagery.
4. A 3-year-old is too young to participate in techniques such as muscle relaxation.
