Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Service animals are defined and protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Service animals are working animals that are individually trained to perform tasks for persons with disabilities. This legislation allows service animals to accompany a disabled person into all areas open to the general public. The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was the first legislation designed specifically to eliminate discrimination against the disabled; it required all federal agencies and programs receiving federal funds to hire disabled workers. The Individuals with Disabilities Ed-ucation Act of 1975 guarantees all children with disabilities ages 3 through 21 the right to a free and appropriate public school education that will meet their individual needs. The Developmental Disabilities Act and Bill of Rights Act of 2000 requires the Administration of Developmental Disabilities under the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS) to ensure that people with developmental disabilities and their families receive the services and support that they need.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A nurse speaking on behalf of others who are unable to speak for themselves is performing the role of advocate. A nurse is responsible for assisting clients and families by organizing and inte-grating the resources of other agencies or care providers to meet the clients' needs most effi-ciently in the role of coordinator. As a caregiver, the nurse provides direct care to the client. Nurses are collaborators when they take part in joint decision making with clients, families, groups, and communities.
