Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Many social pressures have negative effects on the health of our families. Some of these trends include the economic situation, HIV and AIDS in women and children who are vulnerable due to barriers to health care, a loss of resources in schools, and an increase in all types of violence. As a group, adult males do not have restricted access to health care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
The toddler is in a stage where rapid physical development occurs but coordination and judgment are lagging behind. Thus the toddler is prone to accidents and injury. The nurse should offer anticipatory guidance so the parents can keep their child safe. Development of personal values and ethics occurs in the school-age and adolescent stage. Impact of peer group increases in this stage as well.
