Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale:Proper handwashing should be taught to school-age children to reduce the spread of the common coldvirus.No vaccine can prevent the common cold. Antibiotics are not used to treat viral infections. Aspirin should not be taken for fever because of its association with Reye's syndrome.
