Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Feedback:
The CLS would provide activities to support normal growth and development, grief and bereavement support, and emergency room interventions for children and families. The CLS would also provide nonmedical preparation for tests, surgeries, and other medical procedures; support during medical procedures; and outpatient consultation with families.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Because the underlying reason for scarlet fever is a streptococcal infection, a course of antibiotics will be prescribed. Aspirin is not usually provided to children for fever control. Steroids are not used to treat scarlet fever. The child's red tongue is not because of an oral fungal infection.
