Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The primary concern with feeding is to protect the operative site. The child can be fed with a spoon, but only the side of the spoon is placed into the mouth at the side of the mouth. The spoon must not touch the roof of the mouth.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The infant is fed with a dropper until the incision is completely healed, about 1 to 2 weeks after surgery.
