this to other family members. What will the nurse tell the parent?

b. "Obtain a daily stool specimen from your child."
c. "Change sheets, bedclothes, towels and underwear weekly."
d. "Your child should wash hands well before meals and after using the toilet." - ✔✔ANS: D

To prevent the spread of pinworms, good hand washing after toileting is recommended. Patients

Pyrantel pamoate is used to treat pinworms. The other drugs treat other types of parasites.

according to which schedule?
a. 500 mg weekly beginning 2 weeks prior to travel and continuing for 8 weeks after travel
b. 1000 mg weekly beginning 2 weeks prior to travel and continuing for 8 weeks after travel

d. 1000 mg once daily for 2 days followed by 500 mg daily for 2 to 3 weeks - ✔✔ANS: A

For malaria prophylaxis, chloroquine is started 2 weeks before entering an endemic area and then
continued for 8 weeks after leaving the area. The dose is 500 mg weekly. The dosing schedule of
1000 mg once daily for 2 days followed by 500 mg daily for 2 to 3 weeks is used to treat acute
malaria.
