Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Spiral fractures are only possible from abuse, because they require a wringing motion to occur. When working with victims of child abuse, the primary obligation of all health care providers is to protect the child. The abuse must be reported as a legal and ethical obligation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Tobacco use is a major problem in this country and is the single leading preventable cause of death in the United States. Overweight and obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Alcohol and firearms (guns) are not leaders in the causes of preventable death in the United States.
