Answer to Question 1

A
Position infants with breathing problems or excessive vomitus in a supine or side-lying position. Airways of infants and children are smaller than those of an adult; even small amounts of mucus can cause airway obstruction. Suction should be completed for only 5 seconds with 30 to 60 seconds in between for the patient to reoxygenate. Compress the bulb syringe before insertion to prevent forcing secretions into the infant's bronchi.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, D
Some barriers to medication adherence include fear of adverse reactions from medications, belief that a medication does not help, inconvenience of taking medication, cost of medication, inadequate knowledge, forgetfulness, and lack of social support.
