Answer to Question 1

B
Body mass index = weight (kg)  height (m)2 . The ratio of waist circumference to hip circumfe-rence is known as waist-to-hip ratio. Body mass index indicates degree of overweight or under-weight but not personal satisfaction with current body weight. Weight divided by waist circum-ference is not used in clinical practice.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Although warm milk has been reported to promote sleep, children should not drink fluids containing sugar at bedtime. Allowing a child to fall asleep with a bottle of milk, juice, breast milk, or formula promotes bacterial growth and breakdown of tooth enamel. Sugar containing liquids in a sleeping child's mouth promotes tooth decay. Tooth decay is the greatest risk of allowing a child to go to sleep with sugar containing fluids in the mouth. Bottles at bedtime do not present a choking hazard.
