Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
Having the boy keep a detailed food diary for 1 week will determine his current patterns of eating. This can then be used to show him how to make small changes that produce results, especially if he eats before periods of inactivity such as before going to bed or when he is bored. Thinking in terms of a diet is negative and can lead to poor body image. If the parents have poor eating habits, this could be bad advice. The child could too easily choose the wrong sport or do poorly. It's best to offer solutions with more variety.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
Children under 12 years of age must sit in the back seat of the car. Laws in most states require helmets for riding bicycles and scooters. When riding a bike, the child should ride on the side of the road traveling with the traffic. Children should know how to swim. If swimming skills are limited, the child must wear a life preserver at all times.

Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
