Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. Risk of infection would prohibit use of a semi-private room.
2. A negative-pressure room is not indicated for a mild neutropenia.
3. A private room to minimize risk of infection is appropriate. No further precautions are necessary.
4. A semi-private room and protective isolation are not appropriate for this patient.

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale 1: The posterior fontanel closes between two and three months of age.
Rationale 2: Good head control is expected at four months of age.
Rationale 3: Rolling from abdomen to back is a skill the four-month-old should be learning.
Rationale 4: An open anterior fontanel, which is soft, is a normal finding at four months.
