Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Obesity is the fastest rising public health concern in the nation and may overtake tobacco use as the single leading preventable cause of death. The obesity rate has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents over the past three decades. More than one third of children and adolescents are considered overweight or obese. Vaccine-preventable deaths (VPD) related to contagious diseases are at or near record-low levels. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, many communicable diseases have been reduced by greater than 99 as a result of immunizations. STDs and stomach flu have not been increasing in school-aged and adolescent children.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because many abusers lack a supportive environment, the potential for relapse is increased. The availability of drugs, remembering the immediate fantastic feeling of using, or feeling better about life while using are not the primary explanations for why drug abusers relapse.
