Answer to Question 1

B
Dehydration and febrile seizures occur during rising temperatures of children between 6 months and 3 years of age. Febrile seizures are unusual in children older than 5 years of age.

Answer to Question 2

A
Community health nursing incorporates knowledge from published health sciences. It is broader than the focus of public health. A community-based nurse works in an established program that provides health services to specific populations in the community.
