Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale: Transitional needs toward independence include attending school, discussion of sexual matters, and socialization beyond the family. The other areas are not transitional needs.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Continuity of care involves the family and child's participation in their health care. Access to transportation involves access to care, not continuity. Providing resources such as social services is related to comprehensiveness of care, not to continuity. Recognizing and respecting cultural needs are part of the degree to which healthcare services, not continuity of care, are provided.
