Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
Feedback:
Teaching should address taking the prescribed antibiotic until finished to ensure complete eradication of the infection; checking temperature daily and notifying the practitioner if it is above 100.4 F; washing hands thoroughly before and after eating, using the bathroom, touching the perineal area, or providing newborn care; handling perineal pads by the edges and avoiding touching the inner aspect of the pad that is against the body; and directing peribottle so that it flows from front to back.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
To prevent falls, the parents should keep the house windows closed or keep secure screens in place. Prescribed medication should be stored in a locked cabinet and not left out on a table because this could cause accidental poisoning. House plants should not be within reach of the toddler because this could cause an accidental poisoning or injury if the plant is pulled on top of the child. Nuts could cause accidental choking and should not be within the child's reach.
