The nurse admits a 9-month-old for a well-baby checkup. The mother tells the nurse she has been adding foods one at a time to the diet, and hasn't encountered any problems. This morning, she noticed a fine, raised rash around the child's mouth
The nurse asks the mother: 1. "Have you introduced any new foods into the diet within the last 24 hours?"
2. "Have you changed soaps or detergents recently?"
3. "Has there been any drainage from the area?"
4. "Does the child drool excessively when sleeping?"

Rationale: The nurse would first determine if there have been any new foods added to the child's diet before questioning about other changes, because food allergies commonly arise when they are introduced into the diet.
