Answer to Question 1

Feedback
1. It is important that education is provided to the mother or caregiver so that they know the irritability is not a reflection of their parenting skills.
2. Infants do not have the enzyme to absorb milk thus would cause more stomach upset
3. Acknowledgement of the mother's feelings is important. Mother needs educated about Infant Colic.
4. The mother is describing Infant Colic. This can be very frustrating for mothers. They can feel helpless, hopeless and like a terrible mother. It is important that education is provided to the mother or caregiver so that they know the irritability is not a reflection of their parenting skills.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
1. The arm has a lower level of subcutaneous tissue, so the absorption rate is slower.
2. The leg has a lower level of subcutaneous tissue, so the absorption rate is slower.
3. The buttock has a lower level of subcutaneous tissue, so the absorption rate is slower and is not easily accessible for self-injections.
4. Because of a larger amount of subcutaneous tissue in the abdomen, the medication is absorbed faster.
