Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Scald burns are the most common type of thermal injury in children, especially 1- and 2-year-old children. Temperature should be reduced on the hot water in the house and hot liquids placed out of the child's reach. Electric burns from electrical outlets and hot object burns from cigarettes or irons are both significant causes of burn injury. The child should be protected by reducing the temperature on the hot water heater in the home, keeping objects such as cigarettes and irons away from children, and placing protective guards over electrical outlets when not in use. Flame burns from matches and lighters represent one of the most fatal types of burns in the toddler age group but not one of the most common types of burn.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Children 0 to 3 years of age riding properly restrained in the middle of the backseat have a 43 lower risk of injury than children riding in the outboard (window) seat during a crash.
