Answer to Question 1

D
Cancers are named according to the site of the primary neoplasm or the type of tissue involved. The four main classifications by tissue type include lymphomas, cancers occurring in lymphatic tissue and similar infection-fighting organs; leukemias, cancers occurring in blood-forming organs such as bone marrow; sarcomas, cancers occurring in connective tissue such as bone; and carcinomas, cancers occurring in epithelial tissue such as skin.

Answer to Question 2

C
Allow the child to sit on your lap or the lap of the caregiver in a sitting or modified supine position. Never mix medication with essential foods or drinks, as the child might refuse them later when associated with the medication.
