Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because an infant's immune system does not become fully mature until 2 years of age, the maternal transfer of antibodies and immune factors enhances development of the immune system and facilitates the neonate's immune system response. The longer the time that an infant is breastfed, the stronger the protection again infection and the earlier the maturation of the infant's immune system.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Between 8 and 11 years of age, children begin to focus on their own development and to contrast it with their friends' development. At this time, parents should begin to educate their children about the names and functions of the male and female sexual organs, puberty, the menstrual cycle, sexual intercourse, pregnancy, pregnancy prevention, same-sex relationships, masturbation, and the spread of sexually transmitted infections, and encourage dialogue about personal expectations and values regarding sexual activity.
