Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Feedback
Correct These criteria are all correct.
Incorrect The infant must be at least 36 weeks of gestation to meet the criteria for
therapeutic hypothermia. Treatment should be initiated within the first 6
hours of life, ideally at a tertiary care center.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback
Correct Common helminthes include roundworm, pinworm, tapeworm, and
hookworm. Children are frequently infected as the result of frequent
hand-mouth activity (unwashed hands, nail biting, not washing hands after
using the toilet) and the likelihood of fecal contamination from sandboxes
(especially if dogs and cats deposit fecal material in them). Other causes
include not adequately washing fruits and vegetables before eating them
and drinking contaminated water.
Incorrect Skin-to-skin contact with other children and scratches from a cat are not
transmission modes for helminthes.
