Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Intense perianal itching is the principal symptom of pinworms. Restlessness and distractibility may be nonspecific symptoms. Rectal discharge is not a symptom of pinworms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Ascariasis (common roundworm) is transferred to the mouth by way of contaminated food, fingers, or toys. Further teaching is needed if parents state it is transmitted from person to person. Frequent handwashing, especially after diaper changes, continuing the Alinia for 3 days, and reexamining the stool in 2 weeks are appropriate actions.
