Answer to Question 1

C, E, F
Feedback:
Health supervision involves providing services proactively, with the goal of optimizing the child's level of functioning. It ensures the child is growing and developing appropriately and it promotes the best possible health of the child by teaching parents and children about preventing injury and illness (e.g., proper immunizations and anticipatory guidance). The framework for the health supervision visit is developed from national guidelines available through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the American Medical Association (AMA), and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Making referrals and monitoring disease incidence and quality of care provided may occur with this model, but they are not key focal points.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Unsafe food preparation is an area that could be reduced in incidence if people knew more about it and took active interventions to reduce its occurrence or spread. The 2020 National Health Goals addressing these include reducing infections caused by key pathogens transmitted commonly through food and increasing the proportion of consumers who follow key food safety practices of Chill: refrigerate promptly.. Nurses can help the nation achieve the goal by counseling parents about safe food preparation and serving as consultants to those responsible for food preparation.
