Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for cancer prevention in children by careful history taking at health assessments to reveal the symptoms of leukemia and by active teaching of self-screening measures such as testicular examination and preventive measures such as avoiding excessive sun exposure. Vitamin supplementation, rest, and exercise are not identified as actions to prevent cancer in children.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Topical absorption of drugs is increased in infants and young children because the stratum corneum is thinner and well hydrated. The absorption of oral drugs is slowed by slower gastric emptying, increased intestinal motility, a proportionately larger small intestine surface area, high gastric pH, and decreased lipase and amylase secretion. The absorption of drugs given intramuscularly or subcutaneously is erratic and may be decreased.
