Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Enuresis is diagnosed when a child is at least 5 years of age and is still having involuntary urination, usually at night. Although this problem is significant to the child and his or her parents, it is defined as a benign and self-limiting disorder, usually ending between 6 and 8 years of age. There is no research indicating that the incidence is increasing in the United States or that it is caused by lack of physical activity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C, D, E

Accidents, such as motor vehicle crashes, poisonings, burns, drowning, choking and aspirations, and falls are the major cause of death in toddlers. Childhood diseases are not a factor due to current immunization protection. Most infections are treatable with antibiotics.
