Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
The mother understands how many hours of sleep her child needs. Routines, such as the same bedtime every night, promote good sleep. However, a horseback ride to bed may cause problems because it may not provide a calming transition from play to sleep; a bath and reading a story would be better. If the child can climb out of a crib, he needs to be in a youth bed or regular bed to avoid injury.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
The fact that some tests provide only a probability for developing a disorder is a problem: a serious limitation of these susceptibility tests is that some people who carry a disease-associated mutation will never develop the disease. Choosing appropriate treatments, avoiding having children with fatal diseases, and identifying those at high risk are advantages of genetic testing.
