Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. This is not a reason for washing hands after using the toilet.
2. The fecaloral and respiratory routes are the most common sources of transmission in children.
3. Children usually do not wash their hands after toileting unless they are closely supervised.
4. Underdeveloped immune systems will not transmit disease.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4
Rationale:
1. A 4-year-old is not old enough to understand any of the benefits and risks of the research trial, and is not required to assent.
2. Federal guidelines mandate that research participants 7 years old and older must receive developmentally appropriate information about health care procedures and treatments, and give assent.
3. Federal guidelines mandate that research participants 7 years old and older must receive developmentally appropriate information about healthcare procedures and treatments, and give assent.
