Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A high-fiber diet with possible addition of bulk laxatives is beneficial for children with RAP. Bulk-forming laxatives such as psyllium are recommended. Stimulant laxatives may produce painful cramping for the child. Warm packs, such as a heating pad, may help ease the discomfort. Bowel training is recommended to assist the child in establishing regular bowel habits. Thirty minutes is too long for the child to sit on the toilet. The time should be limited to 15 minutes.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
For MRSA infection, the adolescent should be provided with washcloths and towels separate from those of other family members. Daily bathing or showering with an antibacterial soap is also recommended. Mupirocin should be applied to the nares of those with MRSA infection twice daily for 2 to 4 weeks. Clothing should be laundered in warm to hot water, not cold, and bleach does not need to be used when laundering towels and washcloths.
