Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A ring-like rash at the site of the tick bite is characteristic for Lyme disease. Swelling in the neck is a symptom of mumps. Confusion, anxiety, and hypersalivation are symptoms of rabies.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The mother is the nurturer and thus the primary caregiver, so she would be the best family member to learn proper care procedures. Dealing with insurance coverage is the responsibility of the family's financial manager, transmitting information to family members is the gatekeeper's duty, and determining the success of treatment would likely fall to the family decision maker.
