Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
School-age children usually do not require naps, but they do need to sleep approximately 11 hours at age 5 years and 9 hours at age 12 years each night.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
An evulsed tooth should be placed in a suitable medium for transplant, either cold milk or saliva (under the child or parent's tongue). Cold milk is a more suitable medium for transport than cold water, warm salt water, or a dry, clean jar.
