Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Vaccine-preventable deaths (VPD) 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. Chronic diseases have been increasing in school-aged and adolescent populations due to the increase in overweight and obesity. STDs and stomach flu have not been greatly reduced in school-aged and adolescent children.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
One of the most frequent complaints of school-aged children is dental caries. Causes include poor oral hygiene, lack of fluoridated water, and lack of funds or insurance for dental care. Half of children aged 12 to 15 years will have dental caries. Approximately 75 of those between the ages of 12 and 19 years have had tooth decay. Dental caries occur as a more frequent complaint than anxiety over grades, headaches in response to stress, and stomachaches.
