Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
In the despair stage, the child becomes inactive and sad and usual comfort measures, such as thumb-sucking and clutching a blanket, become prominent. In the protest phase, the child's need for family caregivers is conscious and sorrowful, and the child cries and reacts aggressively, rejecting healthcare personnel. The denial phase (detachment) may be interpreted as a sign that the child is protecting himself or herself from anxiety by rejecting family caregivers; however, the child's need for caregivers is more intense than ever.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
In some cases, a target clinic may be set up only to administer immunizations. When the demand has passed (e.g., for common flu or H1N1 immunizations), the clinic no longer exists. Community healthcare clinics, private clinics associated with hospitals, and school-based health services serve common populations.
