Answer to Question 1

A
Toddlers are most often at risk for accidents in or near the home. Although new and strange environments may cause an increased hazard, the home is still the most common site.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D
Pillows should be used under curvatures of the cast; the head and shoulders should not be elevated on pillows as it may cause respiratory difficulty. A disposable diaper tucked into the buttock opening of the cast can prevent soiling the cast with feces. A bib will keep food from entering the cast. Cool air is helpful with itching.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
