Answer to Question 1

D
Meticulous hand washing can decrease the spread of organisms. RSV infection is not airborne. It is acquired mainly through contact with contaminated surfaces. RSV can live on skin or paper for up to 1 hour and can live on cribs and other nonporous surfaces for up to 6 hours.

Answer to Question 2

B
Epiglottitis can rapidly progress to complete airway obstruction and death. The goal of treatment is to maintain a patent airway. The child with epiglottitis will not be able to take fluids orally. Hydration is a concern, but not the priority. Cough is not a symptom of epiglottitis. The child with epiglottitis will have an elevated temperature. Reducing fever is not the priority of care.
