Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals to prevent and reduce the incidence of infectious disease in children by educating parents about the importance of immunizations.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The rash of roseola is distinctive. There are discrete, rose-pink macules approximately 2 to 3 mm in size and flat with the skin surface. With roseola, infants become irritable and anorexic although even with a high fever remain playful and alert. The condition is diagnosed based on the physical signs and symptoms with the hallmark being a rash that appears immediately after a sharp decline in fever.
