Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Usually by age 30 months, the primary dentition of 20 teeth is complete. Birth weight doubles at approximately ages 5 to 6 months. The anterior fontanel closes at ages 12 to 18 months. Binocularity is established by age 15 months.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Discharge instructions for a parent of a child who recently had a cardiac catheterization should include changing the bandage every day for the next 2 days. The child should avoid strenuous exercise but can go back to school. The child should avoid a tub bath, but an older child could take a shower the first day after the catheterization. The site should not have swelling or redness; if there is, it should be reported to the health care practitioner.
