Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Informing team members of the progress of treatment is an act of collaboration. Discussing the child's needs with a school nurse is done in the role of a consultant. Advising the pulmonologist of respiratory symptoms and arranging after-school attendance at a day care facility are care coordinator activities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B, C, E
Teaching parents to administer albuterol, reminding a parent to give the full course of antibiotics, and showing them how to perform proper hand-hygiene involves the role of the nurse as an educator. Arranging for a physical therapy session, giving a DTaP vaccination at the proper interval, and integrating research findings to establish evidence-based practice are examples of care management.
