Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
After caring for patients with potential or actual infectious diarrhea, hand hygiene is performed using soap and hot water. The other actions are correct.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency. Airway comes first. The patient may need oxygen, but if the airway is not patent, the oxygen will not help. Listening to the lungs and determining the allergen come later.
