Answer to Question 1

1. Keeping sharp objects out of reach of young children

Rationale:
Scissors, knives, and other sharp objects should be out of the reach of young children. Parents should not permit preschool age children to light fireworks. Eye protection should be worn when participating in sports that lead to eye injury, such as baseball or tennis. Keep household products with harmful chemicals and solutions out of reach of young children.

Answer to Question 2

4. Voiding a sufficient quantity

Rationale:
Voiding a sufficient quantity of urine is a form of barrier protection that helps the body to defend itself against microorganisms. The act of voiding flushes those organisms that might try to enter the body through the urinary meatus. Heavy smoking does not defend the body from microorganisms; it destroys the cilia in the nose that helps to filter organisms. Moisturizing the skin and breakdown of the skin can both allow microorganisms to enter the body.
