Answer to Question 1

B
Response:
Prevention of neural tube defects in the offspring of pregnant women via the use of folic acid is an example of a primary prevention strategy. Calcium, vitamin C, and iron have no effect on the prevention of neural tube defects.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
The numeric pain intensity scale can be used with children as young as 5 years of age, but the preferred minimum age for using this tool is 7 years. The FACES and Oucher Pain Rating Scales and the Poker Chip Tool are appropriate pain assessment tools for a 4-year-old.
