Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, C, D
Feedback:
K-12 health education curriculum should discuss personal health, family health, community health, consumer health, environmental health, sexuality education, mental and emotional health, injury prevention and safety, nutrition, prevention and control of disease, and substance use and abuse. K-12 physical education curriculum should promote optimum physical, mental, emotional, and social development, as well as activities and sports that all students enjoy and can pursue throughout their lives.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
In the past, diagnosis of autism was often delayed until preschool because clinicians would look for evidence of language impairments before making a definitive diagnosis. More recently, the emphasis is on screening for prodromal symptoms in infancy with the hope that some of the more debilitating features of the disorder might be mitigated with early intervention and treatment.
