Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Hand washing is the best way to prevent infection. If good hand washing is in place, it is not necessary to isolate patients or implement contact isolation. Prevention is possible with the use of good hand washing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Transmission of pinworm occurs through the fecal-oral route, so good hand washing after toilet-ing is essential. It is not necessary to treat all children or close the day care. It is necessary that action be taken, as without any action being taken, the pinworm outbreak will continue.
