Feedback
1. This is the priority because the child is in the lunch room. The nurse must check for food to decrease the chance of choking.
2. Making the area safe is important, but not the priority at this time.
3. EMTs are not needed for this situation because this is a common occurrence for the diagnosis.
4. The parents should be notified after the child is safe.

Answer to Question 2

A
Persons being treated with Accutane (13-cis-retinoic acid) have an increased sensitivity to the sun.
