Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Financial barriers are one of the most important factors that limit care. Families may not have any medical insurance, may not have enough insurance to cover the services they need, or may not be able to pay for services. Language, health care workers' attitudes, and transportation are also barriers to health care but are not as fundamentally important as finances.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Grasping the tick and pulling it away quickly would indicate the need for additional teaching. When removing a tick, the mother should use fine-tipped tweezers while protecting her fingers with a tissue, paper towel, or latex gloves. The mother should grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure. Once removed, the mother should place the tick in a sealable plastic bag in the freezer in case the child becomes sick and identification of the tick is needed.
