Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Dental hygiene should be started early. Even before a child has teeth, the gums can be wiped with a damp cloth or gauze. Toothpaste cannot be used before age 2 (because of the risks associated with swallowing it). A dentist should examine a baby's teeth within 6 months of the eruption of the first tooth, but no later than the first birthday. Children should have all 20 primary teeth by the third birthday.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
To prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all babies be put to sleep on their backs and that cribs be free of toys, comforters, and bumpers. Vaccinations and breastfeeding are also recommended. The other options show a house that is dirty but does not rise to the level of needing immediate intervention.

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.
