Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback
A If the hospital/clinic were within walking distance of the girl's home, it would
prevent the teen from missing appointments because of transportation problems.
B If the institution were open days, evenings, and Saturday by special arrangement,
this availability would be helpful for teens who work, go to school, or have other
time-of-day restrictions. Scheduling conflicts are a major barrier to health care.
C Whenever possible, the teen should be scheduled to see the same nurses and
practitioners for continuity of care.
D A negative attitude is unfortunate, because it discourages families that would
benefit most from consistent prenatal care.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback
A Nasal discharge indicates that the child has a respiratory condition but does not
mean the child needs immediate attention.
B A productive cough is not a finding that indicates that the child requires
immediate attention.
C An oxygen saturation of 95 is a normal finding.
D One of the initial observations for triage is respiratory rate and effort. Grunting is
a sign of hypoxemia and represents the body's attempt to improve oxygenation
by generating positive end-expiratory pressure.
