Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A patient with RSV is placed on contact precautions. The transmission of RSV is by contact of secretions, not by droplets or airborne. Enteric precautions are not required for RSV.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Children may be unaware of a prior sensation and be unable to control the urge after it begins. They may be so accustomed to bowel accidents that they may be unable to smell or feel them. Family counseling is directed toward reassurance that most problems resolve successfully, although relapses during periods of stress are possible. Sitting the child on the toilet is not recommended because it may intensify the parentchild conflict. Enemas may be needed for impactions, but long-term use prevents the child from assuming responsibility for defecation. Stimulant cathartics may cause cramping that can frighten children.
