Answer to Question 1

Answer:1,2,3
Rationale:Children with problems with vision,hearing,and muscle tone are at risk for poor school performance,since most school activities involve listening, seeing,and kinetic activity.School performance most likely would not be affected by dental caries and chronic tonsillitis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:Food items that stick to the teeth lead to dental caries.Items such as gummy bears and licorice all stick to the teeth and lead to dental caries.Foods such as peanut butter,crackers,sorbet,and yogurt do not stick to the teeth and are not considered foods that increase dental caries.Fluoridated water has been shown to decrease the incidence of dental caries.
