Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
In children, ischemic strokes are more common than hemorrhagic strokes. However, the cause of the stroke in many children remains unidentified. Signs and symptoms are similar to those in adults and will vary based on age; underlying cause, if known; and location of the stroke. Historically, children have been excluded from adult stroke studies and thus, many treatments used have had to be adapted from adult studies.

Answer to Question 2

A, D, E
Feedback:
Ambulatory care settings include physician's offices, day surgery centers, and freestanding urgent care centers. Hospice may be a part of home health care services or long-term care. Immunization clinics are examples of health department services. Nursing homes are examples of long-term care settings.
