Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
By 9 months, infants play simple social games such as patty-cake and peek-a-boo. By 1 year, infants not only recognize their own names but are also able to say three to five words and understand almost 100 words; a 2 year old is generally able to speak in two-word sentences. The use of whole cow's milk, 2 cow's milk, or alternate milk products before the age of 12 months is not recommended. By 6 months, most infants are nocturnal and sleep between 9 and 11 hours at night. Total daily sleep averages 15 hours.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because accidents such as fires and car and bicycle crashes are the leading cause of death and injury in the school-age period, safety is a priority health teaching consideration. Falls, drownings, and poisonings are priority for toddlers.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
