immunization status with HAV or human-immune gamma globulin
should be implemented. Preschoolers should be taught the importance

process of cell damage.
Free radicals are unstable molecules produced by the body during the
normal processes of respiration and metabolism or following exposure
to radiation and pollution. These free radicals are suspected to cause
damage to the cells, DNA, and the immune system. Excessive free
radical accumulation in the body is purported to contribute to the
physiologic changes of aging and a variety of diseases, such as arthritis,
circulatory diseases, diabetes, and atherosclerosis.
An older adult client begins wearing binaural hearing aids due to

first teeth usually erupt during the seventh month.
B. Providing cooled teething toys can help decrease the discomfort
associated with tooth eruption.
C. No action is required for the common symptoms associated with

D. A slight fever is often associated with teething, but a fever lasting
several days requires medical attention. - ANSWERS--D. A slight fever is
often associated with teething, but a fever lasting several days requires
medical attention.
A slight fever that persists longer than three days is likely to be
associated with a pathological process, not teething, and the parents
should seek the attention of their healthcare provider if it occurs.
General guidelines to call the HCP if fever continues for more than 24
hours in a child younger than 2 years old or more than 3 days in a child
older than 2 years of age.
