14. Fainting occurs when there is a temporary reduction of blood flow to the brain. If a child faints, your immediate action
would be to:
a.
encourage the child to sit up
b.
not move the child until he/she is able to move without assistance
c.
gently lower the child to the floor
d.
place the child in a sitting position and elevate the feet

position makes it easier for the body maintain blood flow to the brain and other vital organs
and to eventually restore normal circulation. It also prevents a person from falling and

41. Teachers play an important role in controlling the spread of communicable illnesses in the classroom. What skills and
information do they need to perform this role effectively?
ANSWER:
Teachers must be knowledgeable about common communicable and acute childhood
illnesses—what causes them, how they are transmitted, and how they can be controlled. They
must understand and know when/how to implement infection control measures, such as
frequent hand washing, disinfection of surfaces, and early identification and removal of
children who may have a communicable illness. In addition, they should be aware of
mandated reporting policies and community health agencies that work with communicable
illness prevention. They should also be involved in establishing and following program
policies regarding sanitation and exclusion of sick children and adults, conduct daily health
checks, and provide on-going health education with children.
