Answer to Question 1

1
Feedback
1. Fluid is built up in the lungs because of the infection, causing crackles to be heard.
2. Stridor is common in children with larynx issues, not pneumonia.
3. When fluid builds up in the lungs, it will cause the lung's sounds to be abnormal with a diagnosis of pneumonia.
4. A child will have wheezes if the airway is constricted, not full of fluid.

Answer to Question 2

A
The Tanner staging system for the measurement of sexual maturity is based on both breast and pubic hair development in girls and both genital and pubic hair development in boys.
