Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Telling the parents to limit eating to meal and snack times is the best advice for preventing dental caries. This reduces the amount of exposure the child's teeth have to food. Urging them to take the child to see a dentist is sound advice but doesn't suggest actions they can take now to prevent caries. Carbohydrates react with oral bacteria to cause caries, but they should not be reduced from the diet. Avoiding fluoridated toothpaste may help prevent fluorosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Laughing when his brother cries when being vaccinated indicates that the child hasn't yet developed a sense of empathy or that there may be psychosocial issues, such as sibling rivalry, that should be assessed. The child may repeat a word even if it is out of context. This is called echolalia. Older toddlers have a well-developed sense of smell and will comment if they don't like a smell. The incessant why is very common to toddlers' speech.
