Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B - Assess the rest of the child's body for a rash.
Rationale: The red marks on the child's cheeks could be indicative of a rash or other skin condition. By assessing the rest of the child's body for a rash, the nurse can gather more information to determine the cause of the marks and provide appropriate care. This step is important in identifying potential underlying health issues and ensuring the child receives the necessary treatment.

Choices:
A: Questioning the parents about how the marks occurred may not provide relevant information about the child's current condition.
