Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Toilet training usually begins around ages 2 or 3 years. Toilet training should not begin until the child is able to hold urine for two hours, recognize the feeling of bladder fullness, communicate the need to void, and control urination until seated on the toilet.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
To help lower serum cholesterol levels, researchers recommend limiting cholesterol intake, eating less total fat, eating more unsaturated fat, and increasing fiber intake. Fiber increases fecal excretion of cholesterol.
