    Explanation
    When a child spills something, it is important to help him/her wipe it up immediately. This is because spills can create a mess and potentially be a safety hazard.

This is because it is important to be aware of your surroundings and any potential hazards or obstacles that may be present when turning a corner.

    Before eating or doing food activity, everyone should wash their hands.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    It is important for everyone to wash their hands before eating or engaging in any food-related activity to prevent the spread of germs and potential illnesses. Washing hands helps remove dirt, bacteria, and other harmful microorganisms that may be present on the hands. This simple practice can significantly reduce the risk of contamination and ensure food safety.

    When it is cold and you are outside you should:

    • Take off your shoes.

    • Hold your breath.

    • Wear a sweater or jacket.

    Correct Answer
    A. Wear a sweater or jacket.
    Explanation
    In cold weather, it is important to wear a sweater or jacket to keep warm. This is because cold temperatures can cause the body to lose heat quickly, leading to discomfort and potential health risks such as hypothermia. By wearing a sweater or jacket, it provides an additional layer of insulation to trap heat and keep the body warm. Taking off shoes or holding your breath would not provide any significant protection against the cold.

    In case of a fire or other emergency, you should help children remain calm and walk to a safe area.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In case of a fire or other emergency, it is important to help children remain calm and walk to a safe area. This is because panic can lead to irrational behavior and hinder evacuation efforts. By remaining calm, children are more likely to follow instructions and make their way to safety. Walking, rather than running, is also advised to prevent accidents or injuries during the evacuation process. Therefore, the statement is true.

    Explanation
    Small toys such as marbles or cars should not be brought to school because they might get lost or be stolen. Bringing small toys to school increases the risk of misplacing them or having them taken by others. Therefore, it is advisable to leave such toys at home to avoid the possibility of losing or having them stolen.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Eating lead can lead to lead poisoning, which is a serious condition caused by the accumulation of lead in the body. Lead poisoning can have various symptoms and health effects, including abdominal pain, headaches, fatigue, and cognitive impairment.

    Correct Answer
    A. You jerk, shove or push.
    Explanation
    This answer is correct because accidents are more likely to happen when someone jerks, shoves, or pushes. These actions can cause someone to lose their balance or collide with objects or other people, increasing the risk of accidents occurring. Speaking nicely, in a quiet voice, and smiling often do not directly contribute to accidents happening.

    The reason some children cannot eat certain foods is because they may be allergic to those foods.

    Correct Answer
    A. To keep the children safe.
    Explanation
    The first concern of a teacher and/or aide should be to keep the children safe. This is because ensuring the safety of the students is a fundamental responsibility of educators. Without a safe learning environment, it would be difficult for students to focus on their studies and for effective teaching to take place. Safety includes physical safety, emotional well-being, and protection from any potential harm or dangers. By prioritizing the safety of children, teachers and aides create a conducive environment for learning and growth.

    • Say no

    • Push them high

    • Push them off

    • Beat them

    Correct Answer
    A. Say no
    Explanation
    To ensure the safety of the child, it is important to say no when they express the desire to go "really high" on the swing. Pushing them high or pushing them off the swing can put them at risk of falling or getting injured. Beating the child is not an appropriate or acceptable response in any situation. By saying no, you can communicate the importance of safety and set boundaries for the child's well-being.

    When a child is hurt, it is important to notify the teacher. While picking up the child and calling 911 may also be necessary in certain situations, the question specifically asks for the action that should be taken first. Notifying the teacher ensures that they are aware of the situation and can provide appropriate assistance or further medical attention if needed. It is the teacher's responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of the child while in their care.
