Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Hospitalized children who have mumps require droplet precautions. There is no danger to a fetus. Sterility is possible in male children due to orchitis, but it is rare.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D
There are several good strategies for improving nutrition. Assess the oral cavity for mouth sores that make it difficult and painful to eat. Frequent oral care helps reduce the possibility of these lesions occurring. Adequate fluids will help maintain intact oral mucosa. Of course, giving a child favorite foods will increase the likelihood of the child eating. The risks associated with tube feedings are high and not appropriate for a child with mild to moderate malnutrition.
