Answer to Question 1

C
Applying drying lotions will assist in reducing pruritus.

Answer to Question 2

D
Small objects should be kept away from the toddler. Storing them in a box only works if the box is placed out of reach of the toddler. Crib slats should be less than 2 inches apart. A vomiting child should be turned on the left side. Lifting the child out could cause aspiration. Clothing should not have anything that could constrict the neck.
