Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Recent research shows that clubfoot is genetic, so no prevention is possible. In utero positioning can possibly influence the disorder as well. Second-hand smoke exposure is not related. Folic acid is important for preventing neural tube disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Parents always need to observe for complications of casting, including neurovascular compromise. A child who is excessively fussy and whose toes are cool should be seen by a health-care provider to assess circulation and possibly modify or change the cast. The parent should be told to take the child to the nearest emergency department (ED). The other answers are inappropriate. If circulation is compromised, elevation and ice will make the problem worse. The parent should not be instructed to modify the cast. Although ibuprofen may manage the child's pain better than acetaminophen, the priority instruction is to send the parent to the ED.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
