Answer to Question 1

C
The antibiotic should be continued for the full prescription and the child should be kept home from school or day care until he receives the antibiotic for 24 hours. Maintaining separate towels and washcloths will prevent the other family members from acquiring the infection. If the infection proliferates, the physician should be contacted.

Answer to Question 2

A
A primary assessment consists of assessing airway, breathing, circulation, the child's level of consciousness, and exposure (ABCDEs). Obtaining the child's health history is a component of a secondary assessment. Vital signs are included in a secondary assessment, after the ABCDEs are assessed. Assessing for pain is a component of a secondary assessment.
