Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Fluids lost by sweat must be replaced by drinking small amounts of fluid during a workout. Thirst is one guide for intake. Caffeine and alcohol deplete body water and are to be avoided. Carbohydrates that provide both energy and other nutrients are best for athletes. Protective gear should be worn by all team players in any contact sport.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
This is the only statement that associates the parent's feelings about the adolescent behavior that is not aggressive or accusatory.
