Answer to Question 1

B
The large soft spot on the top of the head, known as the anterior fontanel, typically fuses at about 12 to 18 months. The infant should be able to hold up his head by age 6 months. The posterior fontanel fuses at about 8 weeks of age.

Answer to Question 2

A
The Joint Commission, with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, urges patients to take a role in preventing healthcare errors by becoming active, involved, and informed participants on the healthcare team. A reduction in healthcare errors could indirectly reduce healthcare costs, but this is not the intent of the campaign. The campaign has nothing to do with automobile accidents, as might be deduced from the fact that The Joint Commission and the CMS regulate healthcare agencies. The campaign has little relationship to insurance, other than to encourage clients to speak up, ask questions, and know their rights.
