Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A It is difficult to teach this age-group to spit out the mouthwash. Swallowing
fluoridated mouthwashes can contribute to fluorosis.
B Fluoridated toothpaste is still indicated, but very small amounts are used.
C Fluoride supplementation is not recommended until after age 6 months.
D The decision about fluoride supplementation cannot be made until it is known
whether the water supply contains fluoride and the amount.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. Increased urination can be an indication that the newborn's condition is improving.
2. Pulmonary vascular resistance increases with hypoxia.
3. Increased PCO2 results from alveolar hypoventilation.
4. As fluid moves out of the lungs and into the bloodstream, alveoli open and kidney perfusion increases, increasing urine output.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
