Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Fifth's disease is spread through respiratory droplets, so droplet precautions are appropriate. Of course standard precautions should be used with all patients, but this is not enough in this situation. Contact and protective precautions are not needed for this disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Common comfort measures for sinus or respiratory problems include a cool-mist steamer, decongestants, and gentle nasal suctioning. A warm facial compress would be more helpful. Sine-Off over-the-counter sinus medication contains salicylates, or aspirin compounds, which are not given to children due to the risk of Reye's syndrome.
