If a child is experiencing a sudden increase in asthma symptoms, , another child can catch the symptoms if they are in close proximity
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Asthma symptoms are not contagious, so one child cannot catch the symptoms from another child. Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, leading to symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath. These symptoms are triggered by various factors such as allergies, irritants, or exercise, but they cannot be transmitted from one person to another. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that another child can catch the symptoms if they are in close proximity to a child experiencing a sudden increase in asthma symptoms.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement is false because even with hand washing and wearing rubber gloves, activities such as trips to petting zoos, dissection of animal waste products, and care of pets can still trigger asthma attacks in students who are allergic to animals. These activities can expose students to allergens like pet dander or animal waste, which can cause respiratory issues and asthma attacks. Therefore, it is important to consider the individual's allergies and sensitivities before participating in such activities.
