Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The incidence of lead poisoning is highest in late infancy and toddlerhood. Children at this stage explore the environment and, because of their increased level of oral activity, put objects in their mouths. Young infant is too young. A preschooler and an adolescent are too old.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Head injuries are a major cause of death, with bicycle accidents being one of the major causes of such injuries. Proper fit of the helmet helps to decrease head injuries resulting from these 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.
