The nurse explains that in assessing the burn area of a child, the rule of nines is not a useful tool because small children have:
 
  a. More fluid loss
  b. Thinner skin
  c. Less body fat
  d. Different body proportions

Question 2

A nurse is assessing a 6-month-old boy's suture lines. The nurse notes that the baby has craniosynostosis. The nurse should be concerned because:
 
  1. The suture line closure will not allow the brain to grow.
   2. This can lead to hydrocephalus.
   3. The child will have immediate developmental delays because of the lack of space for the brain to grow.
   4. The child will not require surgery.
