Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Good hand-washing practices are the best method to prevent acute diarrhea, and other diseases as well. The other actions may be useful, but are not nearly as vital as proper hand hygiene.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
This child's presentation is consistent with Hirschsprung disease and enterocolitis, which is a serious complication. Although all options are appropriate, the priority is to start an IV and provide fluids. Airway, breathing, and circulation come first.
