Answer to Question 1

C
It is necessary to give the entire course of antibiotic for 10 to 14 days. Penicillin is the preferred treatment for any streptococcal infection. The bacteria will not be eradicated if a partial course of antibiotics is given. Treatment of scarlet fever does not include topical antibiotic cream. The child is no longer contagious after 24 hours of antibiotic therapy and can return to day care or school.

Answer to Question 2

B
Primary prevention of pertussis can be accomplished through administration of the pertussis vaccine. Infants do not receive maternal immunity to pertussis and are susceptible to pertussis. Pertussis is highly contagious and is associated with a high infant mortality rate. Prompt evaluation by the primary care provider for respiratory illness will not prevent pertussis. Erythromycin is used to treat pertussis. It will not prevent the disease.
