You notice that a school health nurse is teaching the children to wash their hands using a nontoxic powder that lights up under a black light.

The glow-powder method is more fun for everyone.

Feedback
A Incorrect. The glow-powder method is more fun for everyone, but physically involving the children increases their understanding.
B Incorrect. This method gets the children more active and provides exercise, but the physical involvement is important because it increases their understanding.
C Correct. Whatever program chosen for teaching hand-washing, physically involving the child in the learning increases understanding.
D Incorrect. The most important rationale for using the Glo-germ powder is not because most other elementary teachers use the glow-powder method.

Answer to Question 2

B
A baby needs to be comforted when it cries. The baby learns to develop trust when needs are met. Parents cannot spoil a baby by giving the needed attention and love. Affection should not be used as a reward.
