Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Having the child help clean up a bowel accident is the best advice. Toddlers should never be punished for bowel or bladder accidents, but gently reminded about toileting. Regressive behavior is best ignored, while appropriate behavior should be praised. Telling the older sibling to not act like a baby is a negative approach. It would be better to have the child be mother's helper. Calmly telling the child that thumb sucking is something that is done at home is better than scolding the child.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
An apical pulse is taken in children younger than 1 year of age because their radial pulse is too faint to be palpated accurately. After 1 year of age, the radial pulse can be used and assessed for 1 minute. The femoral and brachial pulses are not used to determine heart rate of a school-age child.
