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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
