Answer to Question 1

A, B, C
Feedback
Correct Signs that may indicate a child is being bullied are similar to signs of other
types of stress and include nonspecific illness or complaints, withdrawal,
depression, school refusal, and decreased school performance. Children
express fear of going to school or riding the school bus. Very often,
children will not talk about what is happening to them.
Incorrect These are not indications of bullying.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Nebulized epinephrine and dexamethasone are given for LTB.
2. Antibiotic administration and possible intubation are associated with epiglottitis.
3. Throat cultures are not obtained for LTB because it is viral, and swabbing the throat could cause complete obstruction to occur.
4. Sputum specimens will not assist in the diagnosis of LTB.
