Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale:It is important to maintain the infant's sucking reflex when he is not orally fed,and the non-nutritive sucking from the pacifier helps facilitate this. The other interventions are not necessary and would be irritating to the infant.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2
Rationale:By 2 to 4 years of age,17 of U.S.children have already had dental decay,and by the age of 8,52 of children have experienced dental decay, making this the most common preventable chronic infectious disease in U.S. children.
