Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Hobbies and projects are best enjoyed if they are small and can be finished within a short time. Most school-age children prefer putting together something fairly simple rather than something that is more complicated because the complicated one will delay the reward, and the child may become bored and never complete it. Watching television does not help the child achieve the developmental task of industry.

Answer to Question 2

B, D
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals by urging children to follow safety rules for automobile and bicycle safety. Playing outdoors, getting exercise, and having an adequate intake of fruits and vegetables would be appropriate for nutritional goals. Brushing the teeth and seeing the dentist would be appropriate for health promotion goals.
