Answer to Question 1

Answer:2
Rationale: An IHP that ensures appropriate management of the child's healthcare needs must be developed for a child newly diagnosed with a chronic illness such as diabetes. A child who is allergic to penicillin will not receive this medication any longer and therefore should not encounter any problems related to it at school. A child who has been treated for head lice can return to school and does not need an IHP. While a child who has missed two weeks of school will need to make arrangements for makeup work,an IHP is not needed.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale: A child with a history of asthma may have episodes of wheezing that can be controlled by prompt use of the child's rescue inhaler. An inhaler should be readily available in the school setting for a child previously diagnosed with asthma. This should be tried first.Emergency personnel should be notified if the inhaler does not provide relief and the child is in respiratory distress.Parents may be notified if the child does not feel well,but this is not the initial action.Having the child lie down will likely worsen his condition.
