A Incorrect. The federal act requiring that all states provide appropriate education at no cost and in the least- restrictive environment to children with handicaps is not the Handicapped Persons Environmental Act.
B Correct. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) replaced the Education for All Handicapped Children Act in 1990 . The act requires all states to provide a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment to children with handicaps. The act added autism and traumatic brain injury as disabilities, and extended educational services to age 21 years.
C Incorrect. The federal act requiring that all states provide appropriate education at no cost and in the least- restrictive environment to children with handicaps is not the Children's Educational Act (CEA).
D Incorrect. The federal act requiring that all states provide appropriate education at no cost and in the least- restrictive environment to children with handicaps is not the Handicapped Children's Act.

Answer to Question 2

D
The injury history does not explain the injury. The described situation is typical of physical abuse. Sexual abuse would require further assessment. Emotional abuse has less obvious signs. Munchausen's by proxy has symptoms only seen by the caretaker.
