Answer to Question 1

B, D, E
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals through helping prevent neurologic injury by educating children and parents about the use of helmets for bicycle and motorcycle safety, by administering and teaching paramedical personnel to administer safe care at accident scenes so children's heads and necks are protected, and by decreasing the possible spread of bacterial meningitis through good hand washing and infection control precautions in hospitals. Interventions about diet and manifestations of inflammatory disorders will not help achieve the 2020 National Health Goals.

According to Child Health USA 20082009, diseases of the respiratory system account for the majority of hospitalizations in children younger than 5 years of age, while diseases of the respiratory system, mental health problems, injuries, and gastrointestinal disorders lead to more hospitalizations in older children.
