Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A Medication should be at room temperature because cold solutions in the ear will
cause pain.
B For children younger than 3 years, the pinna, or lower lobe, of the ear should be
pulled back and down to straighten the ear canal.
C The tragus, not the pinna, of the ear should be massaged to ensure that the drops
reach the tympanic membrane.
D For children younger than 3 years, the pinna of the ear should be pulled back and
down to straighten the ear canal. For a child 3 years or older, the pinna is pulled
up and back.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A To prevent the spread of impetigo to others, the child should be kept home from
school for 24 hours after treatment is initiated. Good handwashing is imperative
in preventing the spread of impetigo.
B The lesions should be washed gently with a warm soapy washcloth three times a
day. The washcloth should not be shared with other members of the family.

should be taught to clip the child's nails to prevent maceration of the lesions.
