Answer to Question 1

D
Physiological normal saline is safest. Infants and children can tolerate only this type because of their predisposition to fluid imbalance. If solution is prepared at home, mix 500 mL (1 pt) of tap water with 1 teaspoon of table salt. None of the other types of enemas are safe to use for infants and children.

Answer to Question 2

C
People with type AB blood have neither antibody and therefore can receive all blood types.
