Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Families with children are the fastest growing homeless subpopulation. Children younger than 18 years make up approximately 39 of the homeless population, with 42 of these children younger than 5 years.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
If a client expresses a desire to supplement medications with over-the-counter or herbal therapies, it is imperative that compatibilities be adequately assessed. This is not synonymous with monitoring for adverse effects of the remedies themselves, though this may be necessary as well.
