Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
To reduce blood lead levels, the family should ensure the child eats regular meals because more lead is absorbed on an empty stomach. The child's hands and face should be washed and dried frequently, especially before eating. Food should not be stored in open cans, particularly if cans are imported. Hot water dissolves lead more quickly than cold water and thus contains higher levels of lead. Hot water should not be used to mix formula. Hard-surfaced floors or window sills or wells should not be vacuumed because this spreads dust.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
In more severe forms, presenting symptoms of abusive head trauma may include seizures, posturing, alterations in level of consciousness, apnea, bradycardia, or death.
