Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: An EpiPen is the appropriate treatment if this reaction occurs again. Benadryl is fine, but most likely is not strong enough in light of the serious reaction the child had. Desensitization is not the appropriate instruction at this time. Telling the parents that they will be taught if it happens again is brushing off the seriousness of the situation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,2,3,5
Rationale: Rubber bands, sneakers, toothbrushes, and water toys are household items that might contain latex. A Big Wheel tricycle is plastic and does not contain latex.
