Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
The family members of a disabled child are beset with emotional upset and confusion about the realities they face with their disabled child. They mourn because they did not get the child they expected, and they can be distressed by the child's pain and need for ongoing medical treatments. Caregiver fatigue is a real possibility, and normal routines are disrupted. Siblings can adapt to the disabled child and may enjoy helping out, but this is not a typical finding and should not be expected.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B
Inquiring about all acute illness episodes and any chronic illnesses present is appropriate for a child of any age. Asking about Apgar scores, birth weight, and neonatal feeding problems would be important for younger children.
