Use commercial baby wipes that are free of alcohol and fragrances to cleanse the area

Apply zinc oxide ointment to the affected area

Apply talcum powder with every diaper change

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,C,D

A. Change diapers frequently. Frequent diaper changes reduce prolonged contact with moisture, decreasing the risk of dermatitis.
B. Allow the buttocks to air-dry. Air-drying helps to keep the skin dry and allows it to heal, preventing further irritation.
C. Use commercial baby wipes that are free of alcohol and fragrances to cleanse the area. Alcohol and fragrance-free wipes minimize further irritation to the sensitive skin.
D. Apply zinc oxide ointment to the affected area. Zinc oxide creates a protective barrier that helps heal and protect the skin from moisture and irritants.
E. Apply talcum powder with every diaper change. Talcum powder is not recommended as it can be inhaled by the infant and may cause respiratory issues.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Take the prescribed insulin 30 minutes before practice or game time rather than in the morning. Insulin timing should generally be consistent with meal times to match insulin action with food intake. Adjusting timing without medical advice can lead to imbalanced blood sugar levels.
B. Eat half the amount of food normally eaten at lunchtime. Eating less food than usual can lead to hypoglycemia during prolonged physical activity and is not recommended.
C. Eat six graham crackers or drink a cup of orange juice before practice or game time. This action helps to prevent hypoglycemia during physical activity by providing quick-acting carbohydrates that can be readily absorbed and utilized by the body.
D. Take two times the amount of prescribed insulin on practice and game days. Doubling insulin doses without medical supervision can lead to hypoglycemia and is not appropriate for managing blood sugar during physical activity.

A. "Encourage your child to avoid sharing hats with other children." B. "Lice can jump from one child to another." C. "Lice do not survive away from the host." D. "Washing your child's hair daily will prevent lice."

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. "Encourage your child to avoid sharing hats with other children." Lice are primarily transmitted through direct head-to-head contact, not by sharing hats or other items.
B. "Lice can jump from one child to another." Lice cannot jump; they crawl from one person to another during direct contact.
C. "Lice do not survive away from the host." Lice can survive away from a host for a limited period (usually less than a day) but not for extended periods.
D. "Washing your child's hair daily will prevent lice." While good hygiene is important, washing hair daily does not necessarily prevent lice infestations.
