Answer to Question 1

A
Identification of the skin's turgor is best accomplished by gently pinching the skin of the anterior chest and observing the speed of skin return to its previous condition. If the skin stays pinched, it may indicate dehydration and further assessment is needed.

Answer to Question 2

A
In many cultures, baptism is a sacred rite. In an emergency situation, baptism can be performed by any baptized Christian.
