Answer to Question 1

A
A, B, C, and D. The deltoid site is used for immunizations in toddlers, older children, and adults.

Answer to Question 2

A
Internal ear structures are very sensitive to temperature extremes. Failure to instill a solution at room temperature can cause vertigo (severe dizziness) or nausea and can debilitate a patient for several minutes. Pulling the pinna down and back is the procedure for children aged 3 and younger. Do not massage the pinna of the ear; instead massage the tragus. Gentle pressure or massage to the tragus of the ear moves medication inward. Cerumen is removed from the outer canal only.
