Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. A child with cerebral palsy does not have the gross motor skills to qualify for the Olympics; thus, this is unrealistic.
2. A hope for the child to enjoy life is realistic, and is not an achievement for the child.
3. Expecting a child with cerebral palsy to do well in the local school is a realistic hope that the child can possibly achieve.
4. A hope that the child is liked and accepted by other children is realistic, and not an achievement for this child.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale 1: Aspirin should not be taken for fever because of its association with Reye's syndrome.
Rationale 2: Antibiotics are not used to treat viral infections.
Rationale 3: No vaccine can prevent the common cold.
