Answer to Question 1

C
Physical hazards such as inadequate lighting can create a hazard; uncontrolled mosquitoes and rodent populations increase risk of diseases. Outbursts in behavior are related to developmental changes. Children need to follow safety regulations in outdoor activities.

Answer to Question 2

D
Pain is perceived in the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS extracts information such as location, duration, and quality. Nociceptors, the receptors that respond to harmful stimuli, con-vert the original stimuli into a pain impulse (transduction). A positive protective response occurs with pain.
