Answer to Question 1

1, 4
Explanation:
1. Children who are immunodeficient should not share cups with other members of the family, as this increases the child's risk for developing an infection.
2. Utensils should be washed in warm water or placed in the dishwasher to ensure that contaminates are properly cleansed.
3. Fresh fruit should be washed and peeled prior to allowing the child who is immunocomprised to eat it.
4. Hand hygiene before handling the child, after changing diapers, and prior to feeding the child is essential to decrease the risk for infection.
5. The diaper area should be cleaned with mild soap and allowed to dry. The use of alcohol will increase the risk for skin breakdown and infection.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation:
1. The best way to obtain information to include in the plan of care is to use a broad opening question. It also is important to ask information about the way the child feels about his or her body image.
2. Asking about eating habits contributes to the nutritional history but is not the most helpful individual aspect in establishing a comprehensive plan of care.
3. Asking about food selection at a grocery store contributes to the nutritional history but is not the most helpful individual aspect in establishing a comprehensive plan of care.
4. Asking about food selection at school contributes to the nutritional history but is not the most helpful individual aspect in establishing a comprehensive plan of care.
