Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Erythema infectiosum rash appears in three stages: erythema on face, chiefly on cheeks (slapped face appearance); disappears by 1-4 days. Chicken pox rash begins as macule, rapidly progresses to papule and then vesicle (surrounded by erythematous base; becomes umbilicated and cloudy; breaks easily and forms crusts); all three stages (papule, vesicle, crust) present in varying degrees at one time. Roseola rash is discrete rose-pink macules or maculopapules appearing first on trunk and then spreading to neck, face, and extremities; nonpruritic; fades on pressure; lasts 1-2 days. Rubeola rashappears 3-4 days after onset of prodromal stage; begins as erythematous maculopapular eruption on face and gradually spreads downward; more severe in earlier sites (appears confluent) and less intense in later sites (appears discrete); after 3-4 days, assumes brownish appearance, and fine desquamation occurs over area of extensive involvement.

Answer to Question 2

ANS:
b, d, a, c
The initial step in treating poisonings is to assess the child, treat immediate life-threatening conditions, and initiate cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if indicated. Terminating the exposure to the toxic substance is the second step. Locating the poison for identification is the third step. Preventing absorption of poison is the fourth step.
