Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: A child with a history of asthma may have episodes of wheezing that can be controlled by prompt use of the child's rescue inhaler. An inhaler should be readily available in the school setting for a child previously diagnosed with asthma. This should be tried first. Emergency personnel should be notified if the inhaler does not provide relief and the child is in respiratory distress. Parents may be notified if the child does not feel well, but this is not the initial action. Having the child lie down will likely worsen his condition.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: While all of the information is nice to know, it is most essential that teachers know principles of infection control to decrease the spread of germs that can cause disease in young children.
