Answer to Question 1

Answer:1
Rationale: A child with a mild cyanotic heart defect should be treated as normally as possible without activity adjustment.Bed rest would not be recommended. Fevers are treated with antipyretics so that dehydration is avoided.Low-grade fever is not a normal finding in a child with a mild cyanotic heart defect and could be a sign of infective endocarditis.

Answer to Question 2

2
Explanation: 2. The sponge is moistened thoroughly with water before use to activate the spermicide.
