Answer to Question 1

Answer:4
Rationale: A child who is dependent on medical devices for survival or prevention of further disability is medically fragile. There is no behavioral evidence to support a finding that the child is developmentally delayed,mentally retarded,or socially withdrawn. A child who is medically fragile is not necessarily developmentally delayed,mentally retarded,or socially withdrawn.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:3
Rationale:School-age children are developing a sense of industry and can begin assuming responsibility for self-care. Toddlers and preschoolers do not have the cognitive and psychomotor skills for these tasks. Adolescents should already be well accomplished at self-care.
