Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Magic mouthwash has several recipes, but common ingredients include Benadryl, lidocaine, and Mylanta, which all help increase comfort so the child continues to eat and drink. It does not kill the virus, prevent secondary infection, or shorten the duration of the outbreak.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This lesion sounds like MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). MRSA is common in athletes. This question would elicit the most useful information. Respiratory infection is not related. Scratching, especially at night, is characteristic of scabies. Wooded areas have ticks, which can spread Lyme disease.
