The nurse working in an outpatient clinic is caring for a 5-year-old diagnosed with ringworm. The mother says, How in the world could my child have been infected by worms? The nurse's best response is:
 
  1. It can be the result of playing in the dirt or come from an infected family pet.
  2. Ringworm is actually a fungal infection, and is not a worm.
  3. Ringworm is actually a bacterial infection, and is not a worm.
  4. Most children ingest the worm through contaminated hands.
