Answer to Question 1

B
Wearing long sleeves and pants and tucking the pants into socks keeps ticks on the clothing and prevents them from hiding on the body. Currently there is no vaccine available for Lyme disease. The Lyme disease vaccine had been approved for persons aged 15 to 70 years but was withdrawn from the market in 1992 . Antibiotics are used to treat, not prevent, Lyme disease. Children should be allowed to maintain normal growth and development with activities such as hiking.

Answer to Question 2

B
Koplik's spots appear approximately 2 days before the appearance of a rash. The macular rash with rubeola appears after the prodromal stage. Petechiae on the soft palate occur with rubella. Crops of vesicles on the trunk are characteristic of varicella.
