Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse should place the female patient in the lithotomy position if the genitalia are being examined as well. The left lateral decubitus position is used for the rectal area alone.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In children, pinworms are a common cause of intense itching and irritated anal skin. The other options are not correct.
