Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Incorrect. The avoidance of house plants is one means of reducing allergen exposure inside the home, hence the caregiver saying they have added house plants indicates they have not understood the nurse's teachings.
B Incorrect. The avoidance of pets on carpet is one means of reducing allergen exposure inside the home, hence the caregiver saying they have the cat to be in the carpeted family room indicates they have not understood the nurse's teachings.
C Correct. The nurse will teach the caregiver to launder bed linens and favorite stuffed animals at least weekly in laundry water at least 54.4 degrees C (130 degrees F) to reduce triggers of asthma for a child, hence this statement best indicates that the caregivers have understood the nurse's teachings.
D Incorrect. Closing the windows and using air conditioners are two means of reducing allergen exposure inside the home, hence the caregiver saying they have opened the windows and turned off the air conditioner indicates they have not understood the nurse's teachings.

Answer to Question 2

B
A child was considered an adult by age 7 . The average life span was only 30 years. Childhood became a separate phase of life after the work of Erickson and Piaget. Adolescence did not emerge as a separate phase of life until child labor laws were passed.
