  1. What is the recommended indoor air temperature range for infant rooms in a child care center?

    Answer: 68–75°F (20–24°C)

    Infant rooms should be maintained between 68–75°F to keep babies comfortable and reduce the risk of overheating.

    Answer: Scrubbing all surfaces of hands for at least 20 seconds

    Scrubbing for at least 20 seconds on all hand surfaces—including between fingers and under nails—is the most critical and frequently skipped step.

  3. A toddler is found unresponsive and not breathing normally. After calling 911, what should a trained caregiver do first?

    Answer: Start chest compressions at a rate of 100–120 per minute

    The first action in pediatric cardiac arrest (after calling for help) is to begin high-quality chest compressions at 100–120 per minute.

  4. Which cleaning solution is recommended by the CDC for sanitizing diaper-changing surfaces in child care settings?

    Answer: Diluted bleach solution (1 tablespoon bleach per 1 quart of water)

    A diluted bleach solution is the CDC-recommended disinfectant for high-touch surfaces such as diaper-changing tables.

  5. Which nutritional deficiency is most commonly associated with limited outdoor play and low dairy or fortified food intake in young children?

    Answer: Vitamin D deficiency

    Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in children with limited sun exposure and low intake of dairy or fortified foods, risking rickets and poor bone development.

  6. A child is stung by a bee and develops hives and facial swelling within minutes. Which medication should be administered first if available?

    Answer: Epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen)

    Facial swelling and hives following a sting indicate early anaphylaxis; epinephrine is the first-line treatment.

  7. Which SIDS risk-reduction practice is recommended for infants placed to sleep in a child care setting?

    Infants should always be placed on their backs on a firm, flat surface with no loose bedding or positioning devices to reduce SIDS risk.
