Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that a dentist examine the infant by his or her first birthday. Besides assessing routine oral health care, establishing a dental contact by the first birthday provides a resource for emergency dental care if it is needed.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Deficient knowledge related to the administration of estradiol is an appropriate nursing diagnosis for this child. There are oral, transdermal, topical, injectable, and vaginal preparations available. Disabled family coping due to the child's disorder and noncompliance due to long-term therapy are not likely diagnoses because of the simplicity and brevity of the treatment for this disorder. Imbalanced nutrition evidenced by short stature would be appropriate for a child with growth hormone deficiency.
