Answer to Question 1

2,4,5
Rationale 1: The child should wear cotton underwear.
Rationale 2: This prevents bacteria from the rectum from being introduced into the urethra.
Rationale 3: Bubble baths should be avoided.
Rationale 4: Extra fluids will wash bacteria out of the bladder.
Rationale 5: Children get so involved in playing that they often hold their urine. Voiding every two hours will reduce the time for bacteria to grow in the bladder.

Answer to Question 2

2. Vitamin K is given to promote coagulation.
3. Vitamin K has no effect on fetal hemoglobin.
4. Clotting factors do not carry oxygen or carbon dioxide.
