A 9-month-old boy has been stung on his tongue after sucking on a bottle that had a bee on the nipple. In comparison to the same injury in an adult, why would an OEC Technician be more concerned over this child?
 
  a. A child's airway has more blood vessels than an adult's, making bleeding more of a concern.
  b. Children tend to be highly allergic to bee stings, whereas the same allergy in adults is rare.
  c. A child's tongue is proportionally larger, increasing the chances of airway occlusion from even minor swelling.
  d. When injured, a child's mouth produces more saliva, making choking a major concern.

Question 2

Which of the following instructions would you give an OEC Technician who is preparing to assess a stable 9-month-old boy with a rash?
 
  a. Keep the baby calm; do not touch him during the assessment.
  b. Start at the head and slowly work your way to the feet.
  c. Have the mother hold him as you do the assessment.
  d. Make sure that you do not undress the baby for the assessment.
