Answer to Question 1

B
The parents need to understand that both dietary change and supplemental therapy are needed to correct this form of anemia. Calcium interferes with the absorption of iron, so milk should not be given at the same time. Injections must be given IM and are painful. In the past, nurses were instructed to offer liquid iron through a straw, to avoid staining the teeth. This is no longer required with all preparations, so check the insert before administration.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Correct. The management of cryptorchidism usually involves observation while awaiting spontaneous descent of the testes during the first year of life.
B Incorrect. The management of cryptorchidism does not usually involve large doses of testosterone given daily, instead human chorionic gonadotropin may be used to stimulate the natural production of testosterone.
C Incorrect. The management of cryptorchidism does not usually involve immediate surgery, instead the choice is usually to wait until the child is between 1 and 2 years of age.
D Incorrect. The management of cryptorchidism does not involve downward massaging of the testis involved to encourage downward migration.
