Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Hepatitis A vaccine is now recommended for all children beginning at age 1 year (i.e., 12 months to 23 months). The second dose in the two-dose series may be administered no sooner than 6 months after the first dose.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
It is important to avoid touching the root area of the tooth. The tooth should be held by the crown area; rinsed in milk, saline, or running water; and reimplanted as soon as possible. The tooth is kept moist during transport to maintain viability. Cold milk is the most desirable medium for transport. The child needs to be seen by a dentist as soon as possible. Tooth evulsion causes a large amount of bleeding. The child will need to be seen by a dentist because of the loss of a tooth, not the bleeding.
