    Explanation & Rationale

A warm blanket can increase the child's body temperature and discomfort. Cool compresses or baths are often recommended to relieve itching. C. Varicella is a highly contagious airborne disease. Isolation precautions, including airborne precautions, are essential to prevent the spread of the virus. D. Koplik spots are associated with measles, not varicella.
