Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale:Expecting a child with cerebral palsy to do well in the local school is a realistic hope that the child can possibly achieve. A child with cerebral palsy does not have the gross motor skills to qualify for the Olympics;thus,this is unrealistic. A hope for the child to enjoy life is realistic,but is not an achievement for the child. A hope that the child is liked and accepted by other children is realistic,but this hope is also dependent on other children.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Secondary care is specialized care; an example is checking the hemoglobin A1C of a diabetic patient at an endocrine clinic.
Rationale 2: Tertiary care is very specialized, and includes trauma units and neonatal intensive care units.
Rationale 3: Prenatal care is primary care. Community care is often provided at clinics in neighborhoods to facilitate patients' access to primary care, including prenatal care and prevention of illness.
Rationale 4: Community care decreases costs while improving patient outcomes, and is not unnecessarily expensive.
