Q
What are the three classifications of temperment classified by Chess and Thomas and describe each
A
Easy temperment
- Mostly positive mood with mild/moderate intensity

t
34
Describe the 5 different classifications of tonsil size
* * Keep in mind child tonsils are larger than adult tonsils**
- 0= Surgically removed tonsils
- 1= Tonsils hiden within tonsil pillars
- 2= Tonsils extending to the pillars
- 3= tonsils are beyond the pillars
- 4=Tonsils extend to midline
35
