Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 5
Children should be taught hygiene measures such as handwashing to prevent the spread of infection. Age-appropriate toys should be provided for children to ensure that young infants or children do not inhale small parts or choke on plastic bags that may found in toys meant to be played with by older children. Caregivers should ensure that they are providing toys that are safe. Infants who sleep on their backs have a reduced risk of developing sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Children should be immunized to prevent the spread of preventable infections. Some toys may include inhalable parts.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3, 4
Asthma, sarcoidosis, TB, and obstructive sleep apnea occur more frequently in African Americans than in Caucasians. African Americans are not necessarily more likely to develop chronic bronchitis.
