Answer to Question 1

3
Feedback
1. The ace wrap is not effective. The child will need casting to help correct the deformity.
2. Serial casting should begin before the age of 2.
3. Correction as early as possible in the child's life will increase the chances of full function.
4. Adaptation will occur at any stage, but if correction is going to be made, it needs to be done prior to the bones increasing in calcification.

Answer to Question 2

D
The liquid solution should be given through a straw to prevent discoloration of the teeth. Calcium interferes with absorption of iron and should not be given with the drug. Iron is given on an empty stomach.
