| a. | A 14-year-old girl who has not experienced menarche |
| b. | A 7-year-old boy who has grown 2 inches in a year |
| c. | A 10-year-old girl who has gained 11 pounds in a year |
| d. | An 8-year-old boy who has lost four deciduous teeth in the past year |
ANS: C
The average age of menarche is between 11 and 15 years of age. School-age children grow approximately 2 inches a year, gain between approximately 4.4 to 6.6 pounds a year, and lose four deciduous teeth a year between ages 6 and 13. A weight gain of 11 pounds in 1 year requires a follow-up because of the rising rate of obesity in children.

| a. | “Dental problems are not as prevalent a problem as asthma, so you might want to consider a health fair about respiratory problems instead.” |
| b. | “Over 40% of children age 2 to 11 have dental caries, so a health fair that focuses on oral care is very appropriate.” |
| c. | “Children are not usually receptive to learning about dental care, so the topic is not the best choice for a health fair.” |
| d. | “This is not an appropriate focus for a health fair because the incidence of dental caries has dropped dramatically due to the use of sealants.” |
ANS: B
Dental caries are present in up to 42% of children 2 to 11 years of age. Dental caries and other oral health issues remain a problem in the school-age population. Small gains have been made in number of children receiving sealants to prevent caries. Dental caries is the most common chronic disease of children 5 to 17 years of age, 4 times more prevalent than asthma.

Overweight children are more likely to suffer bone fractures, have joint pain, and more muscle pain than their normal weight counterparts. Tonsils, which are lymphoid tissue, are larger in a child than in an adult. The nervous system matures by ages 7 to 8. Fractures heal more quickly in children than in adults.
