   2. I will need to use force to retract the foreskin in order to clean the penis..
   3. I need to pull the foreskin over the glans when it is dry..

1. The area should be cleansed every day, just like other parts of the body.
2. The foreskin should pull back easily. If force is needed, medical attention should be sought.
3. The foreskin should be placed over the glans after it is dry.
4. The area needs to be cleaned in order to make sure that bacteria are removed.

Answer to Question 2

Feedback
1. Clubbing happens in chronic respiratory situations, not acute situations.
2. The child may become pale because of the lack of oxygen within the blood stream.
3. The rales are an indication of fluid within the lungs, and the retractions occur because the body is requiring more use of accessory muscles to breath.
4. Nasal flaring may occur to open airways larger to help obtain oxygen and blow off carbon dioxide.
