Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale: When using the resiliency theory, a child and family will have both protective and risk factors. Risk factors include lack of health insurance, not having a consistent care provider, and incomplete immunizations. Protective factors include a parent or family member being able to room-in with the child, a family who is able to stay with the other children in the family, and a child with the ability to communicate needs to the hospital staff.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale: Inconsistency of stories is a red flag for abuse. All other answers are logical explanations for this age group.
