Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D, E
Adolescents should always wear seatbelts. Immunizations should be obtained according to the recommended schedule. Good dental care is important. Parents should give the child privacy in their telephone conversations. Tanning bed exposure is as detrimental to skin as exposure to the sun and both should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
At birth, the skin is covered with a yellowish-white cream cheese-like substance called vernix caseosa.
