Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
An infant's eustachian tubes are short, wide, and straight, allowing microorganisms easy access to the middle ear.

Answer to Question 2

anus, perineum

Begin by applying the urine collector to the tiny area of skin between the anus and the perineum. The narrow bridge on the adhesive patch keeps feces from contaminating the specimen and helps to position the collector correctly.
