Answer to Question 1

D
Islamic culture calls for modesty and same-sex caregivers whenever possible. Muslim faith discourages cremation and autopsy to preserve the sanctity of the soul of the deceased.

Answer to Question 2

A
Bicycle-related injuries are a major cause of death and disability among children. Proper fit of the helmet helps to decrease head injuries resulting from bicycle accidents. Goggles, shin guards, and sliding shorts are important sports safety equipment and should fit properly, but they do not protect from this leading cause of death.
