Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
This is the correct method for a child younger than 3 years. For a child older than 3 years, the ear is pulled up and back.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Z-track method displaces the tissue during medication injection and replaces the tissue when withdrawn. This prevents leaking.
