Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale:
1. A child who is allergic to penicillin will not receive this medication anymore, and therefore should not encounter any problems related to it at school.
2. An IHP that ensures appropriate management of the child's health care needs must be developed for a child newly diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes.
3. A child who has been treated for head lice can return to school, and does not need an IHP.
4. While a child who has missed 2 weeks of school will need to make arrangements for makeup work, an IHP is not needed.

Answer to Question 2

B
