Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Two signs of severe dehydration are depressed fontanels and capillary refill time greater than three seconds. Moist, flushed skin; moist mucous membranes; and low specific gravity of urine are not signs of dehydration. Dry mucous membranes and pale skin color are signs of mild dehydration, not severe.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: Appropriate interventions for the school nurse to implement when dealing with bullying in a school include training the teachers on the signs of bullying; ensuring adult supervision in the hallways, as this is where bullying tends to take place; and teach children to report bullying behaviors. Ensuring that immunizations are up to date is not an intervention aimed at decreasing bullying. Hazing and bullying are two separate problems.
