Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The foreskin, or prepuce, covers the glans of the penis and is often adherent at birth. If the opening of the foreskin is so small that it cannot be pulled back at all, the condition is called phimosis. The penis should be inspected to determine the location of the urinary meatus, which should be at the very tip of the penis. If it is located on the underside of the penis (near the scrotum), it is termed hypospadias. A less common location is on the upper side of the penis; this is called epispadias

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse would use the following ratio to calculate the dosage:
250 mg/5 mL = 500 mg/X mL
2 500 = 250X
X =10
