Answer to Question 1

Answer:4
Rationale:Public Law 94-142 and Public Law 99-457 insure that all children ages 3 to 21 with disabilities will receive a free education. The child may need little extra attention while in the school setting,since he has had the tracheostomy for several years. The teacher should be taught how to care for the child if needed and the signs of distress.If needed,a health aide may be assigned to the child,but this is not the responsibility of the parents.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:2
Rationale: Assessment of the home environment is essential prior to discharge of a medically fragile infant. The use of a woodstove poses great risk to the infant who already has fragile lungs.Oxygen and woodstove heat will produce a flammable reaction.Small toy pieces and paint peeling from the wall will pose a choking risk to the older infant who is crawling.Ear infections are not contagious.
