Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Programs for children and adolescents in the school setting must be age appropriate. Breast self-examination and testicular self-examination are not appropriate material for elementary school children. Breast self-examination/testicular self-examination is appropriate for teen groups in upper grades such as ninth grade. It is critical to assess the developmental and maturity level of the children before deciding on the educational content of a program or a strategy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Immunizations are required by state law to be current and on file before or on the first day of school, although a school district can establish a short grace period, usually 30 days. Immunization requirements must be strictly supported by the school administration. Each state sets a standard for immunizations; a school district can increase the requirements but must meet the minimum standard.
