Answer to Question 1

C
Care should be taken to avoid touching the tip of the ointment tube or dropper to the eye to avoid contamination of the medication. To avoid cross-contamination, medication should never be shared. The child should remain home from school until he has had 24 hours of medication. The child should not wear a contact lens until treatment is completed.

Answer to Question 2

B, D, C, A, E

The steps in CPR are now to begin chest compressions first before opening the airway and giving breaths. The first step should be checking for responsiveness and a brachial pulse, and then chest compressions are initiated. After chest compressions the airway is opened and breaths are given. The chest compression and breathing cycle is continued until help arrives or if alone 911 is called after 2 minutes of giving compressions and breaths.
