Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: The schedule of immunizations is important for childcare administrators to know, but it is not most important for teachers to know this information.
Rationale 2: Although it is important for childcare administrators to be able to interpret health records to ensure compliance with state regulations, teachers do not necessarily need to know this information.
Rationale 3: While all of the information is nice to know, it is most essential that teachers know principles of infection control to decrease the spread of germs that can cause disease in young children.
Rationale 4: It is important for the childcare teacher to know how to take a temperature, but infection control is the priority for discussion.
