Answer to Question 1

ANS: C, D, E
An infant with Erb's palsy or any other brachial plexus injury should be positioned with the affected arm in gentle flexion. The parents should also be taught to support the affected arm when holding the infant and how to perform gentle arm-strengthening exercises. The condition should resolve within a few weeks. Casts and the Pavlik harness are not used for this condition.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D, E
Pharmacological pain management during circumcision includes topical anesthetics, ring blocks, and nerve blocks. Oral acetaminophen (Tylenol) is also an option. Nonpharmacological pain management includes providing concentrated glucose solutions, nonnutritive sucking opportunities, swaddling and containment, and therapeutic touch.
