Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E
The socialization milestones of a 4-year-old child include being very independent, having moods swings, and tending to be selfish and impatient. Having better manners and being eager to do things right are socialization milestones seen at the age of 5 years.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Visine is a sympathomimetic and if ingested may cause serious consequences. Medical treatment is necessary. Inducing vomiting is no longer recommended for ingestions. Dilution will not decrease risk.
