Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. "I should place a cool mist humidifier in his room.": Children with Down Syndrome often have narrow nasal passages and a tendency toward respiratory infections. A cool mist humidifier helps keep the airways moist, reducing irritation and easing breathing.

B. "I should expect him to have frequent diarrhea.": Diarrhea is not a common symptom associated with Down Syndrome; constipation is more frequent due to low muscle tone.

C. "I should expect him to grow faster in length than other infants.": Infants with Down Syndrome tend to have slower growth rates and may not reach the same length or weight milestones as peers.

D. "I should avoid the use of lotion on his skin.": Infants with Down Syndrome often have dry, sensitive skin, and the use of lotion is encouraged to prevent dryness and cracking.

A. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) B. Hepatitis B (HBV) C. Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) D. Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV): This vaccine is generally completed before the age of 5, so it is not typically administered at this stage.

B. Hepatitis B (HBV): The HBV series is usually completed during infancy and early childhood, so it is not needed at 5 years if the child is up to date.

C. Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib): Hib is typically completed by 18 months of age and is not required for pre-kindergarten.

D. Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR): A second dose of MMR is typically required at 4-6 years, aligning with pre-kindergarten vaccination schedules.
