Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
High-risk sports such as paintball can cause penetrating eye injuries. Eye protection should be worn. All children who participate in sports should be protected by the appropriate headgear. Goggles and helmets can and should be used concurrently. A face mask does not prevent damage to the child's head.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The antibiotic should be continued for the full prescription. Maintaining separate towels and washcloths will prevent the other family members from acquiring the infection. If the infection proliferates, the physician should be contacted. The child should be kept home from school or day care until the child receives the antibiotic for 24 hours.
