Feedback
Correct Children are more commonly infected with parasites than adults, primarily
as a result of frequent hand-to-mouth activity and the likelihood of fecal
contamination. Good handwashing can prevent the transmission. Shoes
should be worn when outside to prevent transmission, and fruits and
vegetables should be washed before eating.
Incorrect The child should not swim in a pool that allows diapered children. The
bathroom facilities should be cleaned with bleach to decrease the chance
of transmission.
