Answer to Question 1

C, D, F
Feedback:
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004 mandates government-funded care coordination and special education for children up to 3 years of age. Federal law allows each state to define developmental disability differently, but in general an evaluation of the child's physical, language, emotional, and social capabilities is performed by qualified personnel to determine eligibility. The goal of the program is that the child receives services in a natural environment, so most services occur in the home or day care center. This early intervention program is administered through each state. Children who qualify for services receive care coordination, and the service coordinator manages the developmental services and special education that the child requires.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
A slipped femoral epiphysis is a slipping of the femur head in relation to the neck of the femur at the epiphyseal line. This disorder occurs most frequently in preadolescence and its highest incidence is in obese children. It is twice as frequent in boys as girls.
