Answer to Question 1

C
Safety is a challenge for cognitively impaired children. Decreased capability to manage environmental challenges may lead to physical injuries. Nutritional deficits are related more to dietary habits and the caregivers' understanding of nutrition. Visual impairments are unrelated to cognitive impairment. Psychiatric problems may coexist with cognitive impairment but are not environmental challenges.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, E
The normal vital signs for a newborn are temperature 36.5 to 37.3 Celsius (axillary), pulse rate of 120 to 160 a minute, respiratory rate of 30 to 60 a minute, systolic B/P of 65 to 95, and diastolic B/P of 30 to 62 . A temperature of 36.4 to 37 Celsius is normal for an older child. A pulse rate of 80 to 125 is normal for a 4-year-old child.
