Answer to Question 1

Feedback:
The 2020 National Health Goal applicable to this situation is to reduce or eliminate vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles, pertussis, and varicella. Dental care, socialization, and home safety are not 2020 National Health Goals.

large tongue, hypotonia, slow reflexes, a distended abdomen, prolonged
