Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale:Proper handwashing should be taught to school-age children to reduce the spread of the common coldvirus.No vaccine can prevent the common cold. Antibiotics are not used to treat viral infections. Aspirin should not be taken for fever because of its association with Reye's syndrome.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale: A 20-month-old child who is not walking is delayed in growth and development. The child's mobility is not due to a physiological problem,so impaired mobility is not appropriate.Self-care deficit does not apply to this age of child. There is not enough data to determine if home maintenance is impaired. Diagnosis
