Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Anthropometric data, which include physical characteristics, are part of the screening process. Height and weight are measured quickly and are used to calculate BMI. Head circumference is measured in infants to assess growth. Food frequency is part of a more comprehensive assessment. The nurse does not need to know about school lunch participation for screening purposes.

Answer to Question 2

B
This is an example of cross-contamination because bacteria in the raw chicken may contaminate the vegetables. This may save time, but could be very hazardous to health. Even refrigerated raw chicken can harbor harmful bacteria. This practice is risky, regardless of whether the foods will be eaten at the same or different meals.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
