Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The most common infectious organism that causes mastitis is S. aureus, which comes from the breast-feeding infant's mouth or throat. E. coli is another, less common cause. E.coli, Proteus, and Klebsiella are common causes of urinary tract infections.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Toothbrushing can begin even before teeth erupt by rubbing a soft washcloth over the gum pads. This eliminates plaque and reduces the presence of bacteria, creating a clean environment for the arrival of first teeth. Dental care should begin before the age of 12 months, before solid food is eaten, and before the first tooth appears.

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.
