Answer to Question 1

A
The parents should be encouraged to begin trying after the child wakes up dry from naps. This indicates that the child may be ready. Children should not be left on the potty seat for more than 10 minutes. A snug diaper and using a consistent word for urination is not useful.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Pallor, pain, weakness or lack of pulse, burning, coldness, paralysis, and numbness are all indicators of an embarrassed circulation. Warm toes indicate adequate circulation. The cast may need to be slit or removed entirely.
