1. Hepatitis A.
2. Dental decay.
3. Human immunodeficiency virus.
4. Herpes.
2
Rationale:
1. By 2–4 years of age, 17% of U.S. children have already had dental decay, and by the age of 8, 52% of children have experienced dental decay, making this the most common preventable chronic infectious disease in U.S. children.
2. By 2–4 years of age, 17% of U.S. children have already had dental decay, and by the age of 8, 52% of children have experienced dental decay, making this the most common preventable chronic infectious disease in U.S. children.

The neurotransmitter GABA mainly functions to trigger inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs). Therefore, when explaining this to a group of nursing students, the nurse will state that
A) it takes at least three chemical substances (amino acids, neuropeptides, and monoamines) to stimulate any activity between the cells. B) there is a symbiotic relationship; therefore, the end result will be depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane. C) the combination of GABA with a receptor site is inhibitory since it causes the local nerve membrane to become hyperpolarized and less excitable. D) the neurotransmitters will interact with cholinergic receptors to bind to acetylcholine in order to produce hypopolarization within the cell.
