Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Appropriate nursing care for the child with rubeola includes assessing the child's mouth for Koplik's spots, providing comfort for photophobia by darkening the room, and reporting the disease to authorities. Rubeola is a viral disease not treated with antibiotics. Fever is moderate and seizures are not usually seen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The right atrium is the collecting chamber that receives blood from the entire body except for the lungs. The oxygen saturation of this blood is approximately 70.
