Answer to Question 1

Answer:4
Rationale:Using an open-ended question allows the parents to discuss a family concern. All the other questions or statements are blocking statements and would not foster family-centered communication.

Answer to Question 2

Answer:1
Rationale:Screening tests administered at ages when a child is most likely to develop a condition provide a good basis for health promotion. The remaining answers all provide incorrect information to the parent. Abnormal newborncreening tests require immediate follow-up.Screening tests are done to detect the possibility of problems,not when a problem is suspected;at that point,a child needs diagnostic testing.Screening tests are not done at each office visit.
