Questions and Answers

1.

What is NOT an appropriate treatment for a viral infection?
- A.
  
  Antibiotics
- B.
  
  Rest
- C.
  
  Liquids
- D.
  
  Tylenol or Motrin to keep child comfortable
Correct Answer
A. Antibiotics

Explanation
Antibiotics are not an appropriate treatment for a viral infection because antibiotics are designed to treat bacterial infections, not viral infections. Viruses are different from bacteria and require different medications to be effectively treated. Using antibiotics for a viral infection can be ineffective and may contribute to antibiotic resistance, making it harder to treat bacterial infections in the future. Rest, liquids, and Tylenol or Motrin to keep the child comfortable are all appropriate treatments for a viral infection as they help alleviate symptoms and support the body's natural healing process.

Correct Answer(s)
A. Common cold
B. Chicken pox

Explanation
The correct answer is "Common cold, Chicken pox, Strep throat." These three illnesses are commonly found in daycare settings due to close contact between children and the ease of transmission through respiratory droplets or direct contact. The common cold is caused by various viruses, chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, and strep throat is caused by the group A Streptococcus bacteria. These illnesses are easily spread among children in daycare, making them some of the most common daycare illnesses.

- A.
  
  True
- B.

Explanation
Antihistamines are commonly used to relieve itching caused by various conditions, including rashes.

- D.
  
  101.0
Correct Answer
C. 100.0

Explanation
Most daycares require children to stay home if their temperature is 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation
Singing the ABCs while washing hands ensures that they are washed thoroughly because it takes approximately 20 seconds to sing the entire alphabet.

Meningitis, rotavirus, MMR, chicken pox, influenza, tetanus, and hepatitis are all examples of these that can help prevent children from contracting illnesses at daycare.

Correct Answer
Immunizations

Explanation
Immunizations refer to vaccines that can help prevent children from contracting illnesses at daycare. Meningitis, rotavirus, MMR, chickenpox, influenza, tetanus, and hepatitis are all examples of immunizations. These vaccines stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies, providing protection against specific diseases. By receiving immunizations, children develop immunity to various infectious diseases, reducing the risk of illness and transmission within a daycare setting.

If your child says they do not feel good and are not acting like themselves, you should ignore them and take them to daycare anyway.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Ignoring a child who says they do not feel good and are not acting like themselves is not a responsible or caring approach. It is important to listen to children and take their concerns seriously. If a child is not feeling well or behaving differently, it may be a sign of an underlying issue that needs attention. Taking them to daycare without addressing their concerns could potentially worsen their condition or put them at risk. Therefore, the correct answer is False.
