Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Constipation can be partially managed with good dietary habits, including eating lots of fresh produce for fiber and increasing water intake.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E
The following factors lead to otitis media in children: the eustachian tubes are short, wide, and straight and lie in a horizontal plane; the cartilage lining is undeveloped, making the tubes more distensible; the normally abundant pharyngeal lymphoid tissue readily obstructs the eustachian tube openings in the nasopharynx; immature humoral defense mechanisms increase the risk of infections; and the lying-down position of infants favors the pooling of fluid, such as formula, in the pharyngeal cavity.
