Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
The child will also be taking protease inhibitors as part of the three-drug regimen for HAART. The other medications are typically used for the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
A pediatric practice is most likely to fulfill the characteristics for primary care, also known as a medical home. An urgent care center does not provide preventive care activities. Mobile outreach would not provide for any care requiring hospitalization. A dermatologist is unlikely to provide service outside its area of specialization.
