Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
By the time babies reach 6 months of age, they begin to become much more active, curious, and mobile. Putting plastic fillers on all electrical plugs can prevent an electrical shock. Putting gates at the top and bottom of stairways will prevent falls. Removing front knobs form the stove can prevent burns. Poisonous substances should be stored in a locked cabinet not in a cabinet that children can reach when they begin to climb. The household hot water heater should be turned down to 120 degrees or less.

Answer to Question 2

A
Safety is the primary issue. School personnel need to be aware of the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and the appropriate interventions. Privacy is not a life-threatening concern. The treatment of IDDM should not interfere with the school-age child's development of a sense of industry. Peer group acceptance and body image are issues for the early adolescent with IDDM. This is not of greater priority than the child's safety.
