Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the collection of a bone marrow specimen from a preschooler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a school-age child who has shigella. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
