Feedback
A Physical abuse is not the leading cause of death in this age group.
B In Canada, accidental injuries are the leading cause of death for persons between the age of 1 and 34 years. Accidental injuries are also a major cause of disability.
C Contagious diseases are not the leading cause of death in this age group.
D Falls are not the leading cause of death in this age group.

Answer to Question 2

A self-concept is created by an individual's identity, body image, and role performance. Poor personal hygiene and slumping posture best describe a person with an impaired self-concept. Smiling, appropriate responses, and appropriate appearance are all signs of normal self-concept.
