Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Dental hygiene should be started early. Even before a child has teeth, the gums can be wiped with a damp cloth or gauze. Toothpaste cannot be used before age 2 (because of the risks associated with swallowing it). A dentist should examine a baby's teeth within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth, but no later than the first birthday. Children should have all 20 primary teeth by the third birthday.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
To prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all babies be put to sleep on their backs and that cribs be free of toys, comforters, and bumpers. Vaccinations and breastfeeding are also recommended. The other options show a house that is dirty but does not rise to the level of needing immediate intervention.
