Answer to Question 1

A
To prevent spoilage, perishable foods should be kept at 40 F.

Answer to Question 2

B
The nurse will need to purify water and should gather supplies that are necessary to do so. Using any of the water for waste disposal is inappropriate. Using cold water pulls from the contaminated water supply. Contaminated water should not be used to wash hands, prepare food, make ice, or prepare baby formula.
