Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Maintaining the integrity of the child's skin and mucous membranes is a precaution that will break the chain of infection at the susceptible host. Keeping linens dry and clean is a precaution to take at the reservoir link. Washing hands frequently breaks the chain at the mode of transmission. Coughing into a handkerchief is a precaution for the portal of exit.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Lymph nodes, especially under the arms, can become painful and swollen due to cat-scratch disease. Strawberry tongue is typical of scarlet fever. Infected tonsils and an edematous neck are symptoms of diphtheria.
