Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale 1: Like all sports, gymnastics requires safety precautions, but it does not require personal protective equipment.
Rationale 2: All children should know how to swim, but personal protective equipment is not required to participate in swimming.
Rationale 3: Skateboarding is considered a contact sport, so it requires use of personal protective equipment, including a helmet, gloves, and elbow and knee pads.
Rationale 4: Basketball is not considered a contact sport. No personal protective equipment is required.
Global Rationale:

Answer to Question 2

1
Rationale:
1. Families require support in dealing with a child who has a life-threatening disease. They should be referred to support groups for counseling, and, if indicated, to Social Services.
2. The support will be long-term in nature, not short-term.
3. Aplastic anemia is not a genetically transmitted disease.
4. Nutrition counseling is not a priority, and might not be needed, with aplastic anemia.
