ANS: A
Children with chickenpox are contagious from 1-2 days prior to the rash erupting until the time when all the lesions have crusted over, usually about 7 days. The parents of this child should inform the other parents about their children's exposure to the disease. The disease is spread via airborne and contact routes. Immune globulin can be used within 72 hours after an exposure in immunosuppressed children.
