Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Cultural, linguistic, economic, and mobility barriers all contribute to the nature and magnitude of health problems observed in farmworkers. Cultural and linguistic barriers are the most overt because many of the communities where farmworkers work consider them outsiders. A common misconception among U.S. health care providers is that these farmworkers are from Mexico, with Spanish as their primary language. Farmworkers originate from many communities in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America, and they may speak English, the language of their home country, or several languages.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Ulrich and Bauer (2003) propose that the adjustment to disability experience occurs in four levels as parents gradually become aware of the impact of their child's disability. These levels include: (1) the ostrich phase, where parents do not deny a disability, but do not fully realize its impact; (2) special designation, when parents begin to realize their child has a special need and seek help; (3) normalization, when parents try to make the differences between their child and children without disabilities less apparent, and may actually request a decrease in services; and (4) self-actualization, when parents do not view being different as better or worse, just different, and support their child in learning about his or her disability, along with how to be a self-advocate.
