Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
When using an oral syringe to administer liquid medications, give the drug slowly in small amounts and allow the child to swallow before placing more medication in the mouth. The syringe is directed toward the posterior side of the mouth. The toddler or young preschooler may enjoy helping by squirting the medication into his or her mouth.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
The most common cranial nerve injury occurring during birth trauma involves facial nerve palsy. The optic, acoustic, and trigeminal nerves are not typically injured during birth trauma.
