Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Toys are selected for their recreational and educational value. For example, a large inflatable beach ball is a good water toy; encourages interactive play; and can be used to learn motor skills such as balance, rocking, kicking, and throwing. Dive rings, an inner tube, and floating ducks are not interactive toys.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Primary prevention strategies are those designed to avoid conditions that cause cognitive impairment. Use of folic acid supplements during pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects is a primary prevention strategy. Secondary prevention activities are those designed to identify the condition early and initiate treatment to avert cerebral damage. Tertiary prevention strategies are those concerned with treatment to minimize long-term consequences. Rehabilitation services is an example of tertiary prevention.
