Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Topical medications may be altered by skin tissue condition. Children have thinner, more porous skin and have a proportionately higher skin surface area than adults and thus absorb topical medications more readily. Caregivers should be advised to use only a thin layer on the affected body part. This difference in skin does not affect the frequency of administering topical medications.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, E, F
Chamomile, ginger, and peppermint are often used to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
