Answer to Question 1

C
The child will be contagious until all the lesions have crusted and at least 5 days have elapsed since the rash was seen. Chickenpox can be spread by direct contact and by droplets. The dried scabs are not infectious.

Answer to Question 2

A
Activity should be restricted until the hematuria subsides. A low-sodium diet us usually ordered. Protein does not have to be increased.
