Answer to Question 1

C
The fastest growing segment of the homeless population is families with children. This includes complete nuclear families and single-parent families. More than 794,000 homeless are enrolled in the public school systems. Children of homeless families are often in fair or poor health and have higher rates of asthma, ear infections, stomach problems, mental illness, and have poor immunization documentation. As a result, usually the only access to health care for these children is through the emergency department.

Answer to Question 2

B
When patients receive rehabilitation services in outpatient settings, patients get treatment at spe-cified times during the week but remain at home the rest of the time. Inpatient rehabilitation ser-vices would require admission to an inpatient facility. Some rehabilitation is offered in the home but usually only certain members of the health care team visit. Home rehabilitation services would have the treatments performed in the home, but not for outpatient rehabilitation.
