Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback
A It is desirable to wear cotton rather than nylon underwear. Nylon tends to hold in
moisture and promote bacterial growth, whereas cotton absorbs moisture.
B Bubble baths should be avoided because they tend to cause urethral irritation,
which leads to UTI.
C Children should be encouraged to urinate at least four times a day.
D An adequate fluid intake prevents the buildup of bacteria in the bladder.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback
A This is within the normal range for visual acuity at 4 years of age. The

an ophthalmologist at this time.
B This is the correct response.
C The child's visual acuity is within normal range for his age. Color vision is
evaluated by different methods than visual acuity.

4-year-old's acuity is usually 20/30 to 20/40 . There is no need for further
