Answer to Question 1

1,3,4,5
Rationale 1: The child's height and weight are measured at every healthcare visit.
Rationale 2: Head circumference is measured only in the first two years of life. Sutures close at that time, eliminating the need to monitor.
Rationale 3: Four-year-old children are seen for healthy child visits once a year. The immunizations should be given at this time.
Rationale 4: Developmental assessment is done at every healthy child visit.
Rationale 5: Safety counseling is a part of every health care visit.
