Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Children with cognitive disabilities under the age of six and from low-income families are at the highest risk for abuse or neglect. Children who have developmental delays, mental retardation, or physical disabilities are not at increased risk.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Physically compromised clients need information and counseling for health-promoting behaviors and for prevention of the progression of a condition or pathology. Primary prevention is the most important strategy so that other conditions do not occur. Health promotion strategies may be different depending on the condition. Information about community resources can be provided during the presentation, but they would not be able to be accessed during the presentation. It may be difficult for the client to establish health-promoting behaviors; however, this does not explain why these presentations are important.
