Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, E
To assist in feeding a sick child mealtimes should be pleasant; highly seasoned foods should be avoided; finger foods should be provided for young children; and a variety of foods, textures, and colors should be ensured. Small portions, not large, should be served.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
In addition to Standard Precautions, use contact precautions for patients known or suspected to have serious illnesses easily transmitted by direct patient contact or by contact with items in the patient's environment. Examples of such illnesses include rotavirus, hepatitis A, and respiratory syncytial virus. Streptococcal pharyngitis and mycoplasmal pneumonia require droplet precautions.
