Three children in a family, ages 7 months, 4 years, and 9 years have been tested for lead poisoning. The two younger children's tests reflect elevated lead levels and they will be undergoing treatment.
 
  The children's mother questions why her younger children were not spared as their older sibling was. What response by the nurse is most correct?
 
  A) Some children are better able to metabolize toxins such as lead after exposure.
  B) Your older child has a stronger liver and kidneys, which have helped her to better rid her body of the lead.
  C) Younger children are often impacted because of their play behaviors place them on the floors and they often put things into their mouths.
