Answer to Question 1

C
Failure to pass meconium stool is a classic manifestation of imperforate anus. In some instances, in female infants, there is a fistula between the rectum and the vagina and the baby may have documented stools, so visual inspection of the anal opening is imperative. Additional clinical findings may include the inability of the rectum to allow insertion of a thermometer or a gloved small finger.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
Feedback
Correct In uncomplicated cases of school refusal, the parent needs to return the
child to school as soon as possible. If symptoms are severe, a limited
period of part-time or modified school attendance may be necessary. For
example, part of the day may be spent in the counselor's or school nurse's
office, with assignments obtained from the teacher. Parents should be
empathetic yet firm and consistent in their insistence that the child attend
school.
Incorrect Parents should not pick the child up at school once the child is there. The
principal and teacher should be told about the situation so that they can
cooperate with the treatment plan.
