Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Fluoride is essential for the mineralization of bones and teeth and supplementation may be necessary for children living in rural areas not having a fluorinated water supply. Measuring length and plotting it on a growth chart is a normal part of all well baby clinics. Inquiring about family pets is important regardless of geographic location of the clinic. All mothers are who qualify for WIC should be referred regardless of the area where they live.

Answer to Question 2

A
Obesity increases risk of all of these disorders. Arthritis is not life threatening, but decreases quality of life. Heart disease, diabetes mellitus, and high blood pressure all increase risk of mor-tality.
