  2. Tell me what your child usually eatson a normal day.
  3. Are your child's immunizations upto date?
  4. Has your child had any fevers orviral illnesses in the last three months?

Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale: With a normal exam and lab work there is a high probability that this child's abdominal pain is stress related,and it is most important to identify the possible stressors in this child's life to aid in diagnosis and treatment. The other questions are also important to ask but are not as relevant to this child's symptoms as,Have there been any changes in your child's school or home life recently?

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Until the piercing has healed,it is a nonintact area of skin that has potential for infection,especially from contact with bodily fluids from someone else.Ice,not warm soaks,should be applied to the area for the first two days to minimize the swelling. The jewelry needs to be gently rotated several times per day to aid with healing.Lotion can provide a medium for bacteria and rubbing at the site can cause irritation to the area.
