Answer to Question 1

2,5
Rationale 1: The very young and very old are at risk.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The nurse is aware that the development of the infants is from the head downward, and that this child is beginning to gain control over the muscles of the mouth, and is biting when something is placed in her mouth. If she has started solid foods, it might indicate that the child is learning to bite the spoon used for feeding. Biting is not a reflex action. Some children might begin teething at this age, but the ability to bite is developmental.
