  1. A child falls on the playground and has a small cut that is bleeding. After applying gloves, what is the next step in first aid?

    Answer: Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze

    Applying gentle pressure is the correct first step to control bleeding before cleaning and bandaging a minor wound.

  2. Which of the following is an example of a 'two-way' family communication strategy?

    Answer: A family engagement survey with response deadline

    A survey with a response option creates genuine two-way dialogue, inviting families to share input rather than just receive information.

  3. A child is found unconscious and not breathing. After calling 911, what should the teacher do next if trained?

    Answer: Begin CPR immediately

    For an unresponsive, non-breathing child, CPR should begin immediately after calling emergency services to maintain circulation.

  4. A child with asthma begins wheezing during outdoor play on a high pollen day. What is the teacher's first response?

    Answer: Move the child indoors and retrieve their rescue inhaler per the asthma action plan

    Moving the child away from the trigger and following the individual asthma action plan are the first correct steps for a mild asthma episode.

  5. Which law governs the confidentiality of student education records in US public preschool programs?

    Answer: FERPA

    FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) protects the privacy of student education records in programs receiving federal funding.

  6. A parent tells a preschool teacher that they do not want their child immunized. How should the teacher respond professionally?

    Answer: Explain the program's immunization policy and provide state exemption information if applicable

    Teachers should calmly explain the program's policy and inform families about the legal process for exemptions without making personal judgments.

  7. What does 'universal precautions' mean in a preschool health context?

    Answer: Treating all children as if they might carry bloodborne pathogens when handling bodily fluids

    Universal precautions means assuming all blood and certain bodily fluids are potentially infectious and using protective barriers (gloves, etc.) accordingly.
