Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In 2007, the FDA announced that over-the-counter cold products should not be used in infants because they are unsafe.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Standard precautions recommend the use of puncture-resistant containers for disposal of all needles and sharps. Never recap a needle; most sticks happen this way.
